ME 405 - Vehicle Power Systems

Institution:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

Subject:

Description:

Modern analytical approach to the design and performance analysis of advanced internal combustion engines. Study of thermodynamics, fluid flow, combustion, and heat transfer. Engines for various vehicles are compared (such as the conventional internal combustion engine, the rotary or Wankel), for competition applications and long-life requirements such as traction engines for rail applications. Fuels and combustion, exhaust flows, emission and air pollution, fuel cell systems, hybrid vehicles. Ideas from aerospace technologies are implemented, such as jet engines and gas turbines for powering vehicles, and mass transit. Also, future technologies such as magnetically levitated and very high-speed mass transit systems are analyzed. Application of course techniques to engine research projects. Prerequisite: ES 305.
