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

Develop skills
- SI cycle modeling: 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 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...
