What will I learn?
This course offers a straightforward, hands-on guide to designing and improving a contemporary 1.6 L spark-ignition engine. Master key areas like thermodynamic cycles, actual versus ideal performance, turbo boosting, knock boundaries, BSFC, and overall efficiency. Gain skills in selecting compression ratios, valve timing, EGR systems, and control methods, then apply cycle analysis to set practical goals, conduct validation tests, and create an implementation plan.
