MEC333:IC ENGINES AND REFRIGERATION

L:3 T:0 P:0


Course Objectives:
The course material will cover the fundamental thermodynamic operating principles of IC
Engines
These fundamentals will be used to link the phenomenological processes taking place in
the engine for issues of: power generation, emissions and environmental impact, fuel
economy and fuel composition effects on engine operation
The Refrigeration and Air Conditioning course provides insights in how thermodynamic
principles are applied within the air conditioning and refrigeration industry
