| Course contents : | This lecture is devoted to the energy management in road and railway vehicles, to their propulsion systems (combustion engines, electric and hybrid systems, fuel cell systems), to air conditionning and thermal management of the vehicle. The environment impact receive a careful attention: emissions, fuel consumption, vibration and nuisances, recycling, etc.
- Introduction to world energy and emission problems and their impact on vehicle propulsion systems
- Power and torque requirements for propulsion systems. Performance criteria.
- Normalized measurements of fuel and energy consumptions and emissions.
- Electric Propulsion systems. Road and railway electric vehicles.
- Hybrid Electric Vehicles.
- Fuel cells and vehicular applications
- Projet
This lecture is illustrated with the Shell Eco Marathon of the University of Liège.
