Internal Combustion Engine Basics (Mechanical Engineering)

Internal combustion (IC) ees are not only used in the automotive eeering and automobile eeering industries. They are used to rotate pumps, generator rotors, fans and many other machines. But what are internal combustion ees? Why do we use petrol/gasoline and diesel fuels instead of just one type of fuel? And how do these astounding machines work? This course will answer all of these questions and many more!

You will learn:

How two stroke ees work.

How four stroke ees work.

How internal combustion (IC) ees work.

What the differences between petrol/gasoline and diesel ees are.

How petrol and diesel ees work.

Identify all of an ee’s main components and their function (crankshaft, piston, camshaft etc.).

Know all of an ees ancillary systems and what they do (oil, fuel, water etc.).

Irrespective of your background, learning about internal combustion ees will benefit you greatly. They are used as p movers in cars, vans, trains, motorbikes, scooters, lawnmowers, leaf blowers and many other machines. So even if you are not an eeer, or training to become one, the knowledge you gain will always be useful, because a combustion ee is never far away!

Interactive 3D models have been used to show you every ee component in detail.

3D animations show how each ee and component works.

2D images have been used to highlight areas of interest.

Hope to see you on the course!
