What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to designing and optimizing a 1.6 L spark-ignition engine. Master thermodynamic cycles, performance analysis, boosting techniques, knock limits, BSFC, and efficiency optimization. Specify key parameters like compression ratio, valve timing, EGR, and control strategies, then apply cycle analysis to set realistic targets, conduct validation tests, and develop an implementation plan.

Your classes are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
