Present and Future Internal
Combustion Engines:
Performance, Efficiency,
Emissions, and Fuels
John B. Heywood & Wai K. Cheng

A 5-Day Course for Engine / Fuel Engineers
July 13-17, 2009 | Cambridge, MA
(Recommended apply by May 25)



------------------------------------------------------------------------

This course provides professionals with a fundamental review of the
design and operation of spark-ignition and diesel engines and examines
the impact on performance, emissions, and fuel requirements.

With stringent new emission and fuel economy standards, and major
changes in fuels ahead, a thorough understanding of how these engines
operate, their potential for improvement and their limitations, is
vitally important. The course will involve lectures, discussion and
problem solving sessions, and laboratory demonstrations. Course notes
will be provided.

Who Should Attend?
Practicing engineers in industry, government, and academia in the areas
of engine research, development and design, emission control, fuels, and
lubricants.

What Topics will be Covered?
The course consists of sessions devoted to the following themes:

    The different types of internal combustion engines and the
     parameters that define engine performance
    Thermodynamic analysis of engine cycles
    Gas exchange processes in four-stroke and two-stroke cycle engines
    Spark-ignition (SI) engine combustion
    SI engine knock
    SI engine emissions formation and control
    Diesel combustion
    Diesel engine emissions formation and control
    Engine heat transfer phenomena
    Engine friction and lubrication
    Engine operating characteristics
    Turbo-charging
    Advanced engine developments
    Future power plant concepts and fuels opportunities
