1 Coordinating unit: ETSEIB - Barcelona School of Industrial Engineering Teaching unit: MMT - Department of Heat Engines Academic year: Degree: 2018 MASTER'S DEGREE IN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING (Syllabus 2012). (Teaching unit Compulsory) ECTS credits: 3 Teaching languages: Spanish Teaching staff Coordinator: Others: Jesús Álvarez Jesús Álvarez Prior skills Previous knowledge or to have coursed the following subjects: Thermodynamics Mechanics Theory of machines Fluid Mechanics Thermotechnics (heat transfer) Electrical engineering/ Electronics Degree competences to which the subject contributes Generical: 1. Adapt to changes, being able to apply new and advanced technologies and other relevant processes, initiative and entrepreneurship 2. Ability to apply appropriate knowledge of mathematical aspects, analytical, scientific, instrumental, technological and management, the resolution of the problems of the automotive 3. Communicate and discuss proposals and conclusions in forums multilingual, skilled and unskilled, in a clear and unambiguous 4. Develop independent learning skills to maintain and enhance the powers of Automotive Engineering, to allow the continued development of the profession. 5. Integrate knowledge and handle complexity, making judgments and decisions, from incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities of professional practice 1 / 8

2 Teaching methodology Learning methodology Autonomous learning and monitored by the supply of documentation from the Professor (via moodle) and the resolution of a case matrix, regarding to the theory and practical part, by the attendance to three lab sessions. Theory - realization of 13 face-to-face sessions of 2h/session where solutions about 6 real cases are set out, analysed, understand, solved and proposed. This real cases are extracted from the selected scientific technical bibliography and provided by the Professor; therefore, the student previously studies the recommended documentation which must allow him/her to deal with the case in question. The design and selection of the cases is carried out by the Professor and must include the total theory program. The student will deliver a writen report about each one of the cases and will carry out a presentation in class. Practices- Realization of 3 face-to-face sessions of 2 hours duration each, entails 6 hours of autonomous work from the student to carry out 3 reports, one for each one of the practices. Learning objectives of the subject Solvent use and deep understanding of the scientific technical information of the field and discipline. Understanding, by the experimentation, of the functioning of the Internal Combustion Engines of automobile application. Understanding of the influence of the different designing parameters of the Internal Combustion Engines Understanding of the influence of the different regulation and control parameters of the Internal Combustion Engine Study load Total learning time: 75h Hours large group: 0h 0.00% Hours medium group: 18h 24.00% Hours small group: 9h 12.00% Guided activities: 0h 0.00% Self study: 48h 64.00% 2 / 8

3 Content Lesson 1: Functioning principles of the internal combustion engines (ICE) Otto and Diesel theory reference power cycles, of 4 and 2 stroke Characteristic parameters of the Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) Lesson 2: Architecture and technology of the ICE Fix elements, structural Mobile elements, alternative train Distribution in 4-stroke Lesson 3: Closed phase in MEP and MEC Combustion of homogeneous mixtures (Otto) Combustion of stratified mixtures (Otto) Combustion of heterogeneous mixtures (Diesel) Lesson 4: Open phase Renovation of the load in 4 stroke alternative engines Renovation of the load in 2 stroke altrenative engines 3 / 8

4 Lesson 5: Fuels for ICE Pretoleum derivates and fossil origin New fuels Lesson 6: Pollutant emissions, regulation Thermal pollution Noise pollution Pollution for gas emission 4 / 8

5 Planning of activities 1. CASE 1 To be defined depending on size, composition and characteristics of the group of students 2. CASE 2 3. CASE 3 4. CASE 4 5 / 8

6 5. CASE 5 6. CASE 6 Report and public presentation about the analysis and resolution of cases 7. PRACTICE 1 Hours: 4h Laboratory classes: 2h Self study: 2h Elements and systems of an ICE Resource supply of the Thermal Engine Lab of the ETSEIB Written report of the practice which has been carried out Specific objectives: Understanding of the architecture of an ICE 6 / 8

7 4. PRACTICE 2 Hours: 4h Laboratory classes: 2h Self study: 2h Testing facilities and expeimental characterization of an ICE Engine testing bank and roller bank of the Thermal Engine Lab in the ETSEIB Written report of the practice which has been carried out Specific objectives: Characterization of the functioning and influence of the regulation parameters and control of the engine performance 4. PRACTICE 3 Hours: 4h Laboratory classes: 2h Self study: 2h Modelling of the intern processess of an ICE Lotus Software for single-cylindrical ICE and own software developed with Mathlab Written rerport of the practice which has been carried out Specific objectives: Influence of the design parameters on the engine's performance and its pollutant emissions Qualification system Evaluation system The calculation of the final mark of the course "Mark", is done by: Realization of 2 exams. These two exams are tests exams. (Partial exam "Np" and Final exam "Nf") of minimum knowledge: they must be passed with a mark higher o equal to 5. Evaluation of the delivered reports and the presentations done in class regarding to the theory, "Ninf", with a weight of the 70% of the mark. Evaluation of the delivered reports and the expositions done in class regarding to the practices "Npr", with a weight of the 30% of the mark. Mark = (0.3Np+0.3Nf+0.3Ninf + 0.1Npr); Regulations for carrying out activities The ones established by the School 7 / 8
