interpro.wisc.edu/RA01757 See upcoming datesCourse Overview
The gasoline internal combustion engine will be around for years to come! Despite advocacy to ban the gasoline engine, research is active and improvements are recognized. This course not only provides core knowledge of gasoline combustion, it takes learners through current research efforts to improve safety, efficiencies, performance, emission output and overall lifecycle of the internal combustion engine. Upon completion of this course, learners will:
- Have a foundation in gasoline engine combustion, comparing ideal with actual results.
- Understand the impacts of varying air/fuel ratio within the combustion chamber.
- Be able to distinguish between auto-ignition, knock and detonation.
- Be introduced to ICE heat transfer and pumping concepts, exhaust gas recirculation options, membranes and alternative combustion mode.
- Gain an inside look at current gasoline internal combustion engine research and improvement efforts.
Ultimately, this course will arm learners with critical knowledge on gasoline internal combustion engines and what the future may hold for them.
