The dynamics of Ideal and Real IC Engines - A Theoretical Study

A 4 Week Project

Instructor: Gokul V        Language: English

Course Starting Date: 20th July 2023

About the course

The aim of this project is to introduce the Thermodynamics and Dynamics of an Ideal IC Engine, their mathematical modeling, and their comparison with experimental data of real engines. We observe the key differences and expect to account for them by mathematically modeling a Real Engine based on reasonable assumptions
