| 151-0254-00L | IC-Engines and Propulsion Systems II | 4 credits | 2V + 1U | K. Boulouchos, C. Barro, P. Dimopoulos Eggenschwiler | |
| Abstract | Turbulent flowfield in IC engines. Ignition, premixed flame propagation, knock in homogeneous charge, external ignition engines (otto). Compression-ignition diesel engines, incl. mixture formation and HCCI concepts. Direct ignition. Pollutant formation mechanism (NOx, particulates, unburned hydrocarbons) and their minimization. Catalytic exhaust aftertreatment methods for all pollutant categories. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students get a further insight in the internal combustion engine by means of the topics mentioned in the abstract. This knowledge is applied in several calculation exercises and lab exercises at the engine test bench. The students additionally get an introduction in exhaust gas aftertreatment systems. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Handouts are in German and English. | ||||
| Literature | J.B. Heywood, Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals, McGraw-Hill Mechanical Engineering | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | By request lectured in English. This course is a natural extension of the course 'IC-Engines and Propulsion Systems I' (151-0251-00L). The content of that lecture is assumed known. Basic knowledge of thermodynamics and combustion is required. It is beneficial to have attended the course 'Combustion and Reactive Processes in Energy and Materials Technology' (151-0293-00L). | ||||
| 151-0262-00L | Diagnostics in Experimental Combustion Research | 4 credits | 3G | K. Herrmann, K. Boulouchos, B. Schneider | |
| Abstract | The course is an introduction with regard to different measurement techniques and diagnostical methods. After a first part of measurement technique fundamentals, the acquisition of important key parameter by sensors will be presented. The second major part of the course deals with non-intrusive optical (laser-)measurement techniques. | ||||
| Learning objective | Overview about measurement techniques in general and specific optical methods used in experimental combustion research. | ||||
| Content | Part I – fundamentals: experiment, measuring chain, signal- and data acquisition, processing and analysis. Part II – measurement technique: principles (capacitive, inductive, magnetic, et al.), acquisition of different key parameter (velocity, force, pressure, temperature, tension, et al.) with probes and sensors. Part III – optical measurement technique: fundamentals optics, sensors (CCD, CMOS, photodiode, et al.), optical techniques (scattered light, Shadow-imaging, Schlieren, et al.), in particular non-intrusive flow measurement (LDA/PDA, PIV), chemiluminescence & spectroscopic techniques (laser-induced fluorescence LIF; Raman, CARS, et al.), and other laser diagnostical methods (LII, Pyrometry, et al.). | ||||
