Office Hours: 2 - 5 p.m. M-W-F

Office: Room 131, Kopp Engineering

This course is mostly on the practical side for the applications of thermodynamics, chemistry, kinematics and dynamics of machinery, electronics, and fluid mechanics. This course is also a combination of theories, principles, designs, maintenance and overhaul of engines, so that it is closely related with our daily lives. Students with good background on the related courses and with some experience in the maintenance of automobiles may have advantages in taking this course. The following chapters will be covered in this course:

  	1.      Inroduction of Engines

		Theoretical Cycles

		Real Cycles

       	2.	Fuels and Combustion

		Chemical Equilibrium

		Chemical Kinetics

	3.	Ignition

	4.	Fuel Systems

	5.	Dynamics of Machinery
