The University of Jordan

Faculty of Engineering & Technology

Mechanical Engineering Department
Internal Combustion Engines (0934545)
Seconed Semester 2013/2014
2005 Course Catalog
Fundamentals of engines and their types. Review of air-standard, fuel-Air and actual cycles. Fuel and combustion. Fuel
feeding systems. Engine testing and performance characteristics. Air pollution. Forced induction systems.
The course also includes an experimental part which allows the student to estimate the performance of both spark
ignition and compression ignition engines, effect of some parameters on engine performance like ignition timing,
Air/Fuel ratio, compression ratio and perform an energy balance of the compression ignition engine.
