Thermal Engine Course
Master thermodynamic cycles, knock control, boosting, and efficiency trade-offs in modern 1.6 L petrol engines. This Thermal Engine Course equips engineers with practical tools to design, calibrate, and optimise real-world spark-ignition engine performance, covering cycle analysis, performance sizing, knock limits, and calibration strategies for optimal efficiency and emissions.

What will I learn?
This Thermal Engine Course provides a clear, practical path to designing and optimising a modern 1.6 L spark-ignition power unit. Master thermodynamic cycles, ideal and real performance, boosting, knock limits, BSFC, and efficiency. Learn to specify compression ratio, valve timing, EGR, and control strategies, then convert cycle analysis into realistic targets, validation tests, and an implementation roadmap.

Develop skills
- SI cycle modelling: compute Otto, Atkinson, Miller efficiency in minutes.
- Engine performance sizing: estimate BMEP, BSFC, power and torque for 1.6 L.
- Knock-safe design: set compression, boost and fuel specs for reliable output.
- Fast calibration: tune spark, lambda, EGR and VVT for drivability and emissions.
- Real-world corrections: adjust ideal cycles for heat, friction and pumping losses.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased 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...
