Lectures
Fundamentals of operation of internal combustion engines - thermodynamic cycles. The design of internal combustion engines. Parameters
characterizing the performance of combustion engine - torque, power, efficiency. Characteristics of liquid biofuels and natural gas in the context
of their use in reciprocating internal combustion engines (octane number, cetane, methane). Properties of fuel and air - fuel mixture. The
emissions of harmful substances, the efficiency of internal combustion engines fuelled with biofuels
Laboratory:

Lab tests with using a chassis dynamometer and test rig with hydraulic/electromagnetic braking system. Determination of the composition of the
exhaust gas and the effective parameters of the internal combustion engine fuelled with conventional fuel and biofuel. Determination of emission
during combustion of selected fuels and biofuels in reciprocating internal combustion engines. Influence of the ignition timing on the engine
operating parameters using biofuel and conventional fuel.
