Course description and aims

This course focuses on the combustion engine cycles, which are reciprocated engine, gas turbine engine, boiler, steam turbine and so on, the performances and control of these combustion engines, cogeneration system, ignition and combustion reactions, clean combustion and environment conservation. In addition, the course explains the theories and phenomena of fluid dynamics related to thermal energy conversion, which are turbo fluid mechanics, blade element theory and cavitation.
The aim of this course is to understand the fundamentals and applications of spark ignition engine, compression ignition engine (diesel engine) and gas turbine engine and of the fundamentals thermal conversion in fluid machines such as turbine and compressor.
