Course detail

Vehicle Engines

FSI-QVOAcad. year: 2023/2024

The course deals with the present day conditions and development prospects of vehicle combustion engines. Descriptions of design solutions and functions of individual assembly groups and engine elements are followed by the main functional requirements, achievements and development trends for passenger cars, truck engines, tractor and motorcycle engines.

Department

Institute of Automotive Engineering (ÚADI)

Entry knowledge

Design of machine part, kinematics and dynamics of machine mechanism, evaluation of these elements regarding mechanics, elasticity, and strength. Thermo cycles of combustion engines and thermal load. Combustion engines maps.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Credit: mandatory attendance in seminars, presentation and submitting the seminary work. Examination is written and oral. Seminar thesis evaluation is part of the total evaluation.
Attendance in seminars is obligatory, checked by a teacher. The way of compensation of absence is solved individually with a subject provider.

Aims

The aim of the course is to make students familiar with fundamental principles of design of internal combustion engines.
Students will have an overall idea of the design of vehicle combustion engines and their parts.
