govern the design
and operation of
internal combustion engines as well as a sound technical framework for
understanding real
world problems.
2. Understand engine design and operating
parameters: brake torque, brake power,
mechanical
efficiency, mean effective pressure, volumetric efficiency, fuel conversion
efficiency, compression
