CH2: Alternative fuels and alternative powertrains, hydrogen combustion engine
CH3: Lubricants, engine lubrication and some mechanical aspects
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Knowledge of current developments in powertrain technologies
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Great interest for internal combustion engines
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
TP Lab at the Francorchamps center with the possibility of using a 4-gas analyzer, CNG vehicle, description of the engine bench, OBD and electric vehicles.
Analysis of technological developments related to engine efficiency and introduction of their influence in the CO2 calculation on a driving cycle.
(This is to analyze the effect of an engine improvement and not to develop a driving cycle calculation which is part of the performance course ! )
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Further information:
The course consists of an oral presentation illustrated by diagrams, graphics and videos.
Course given during the 2nd semester.
