Intoduction:

This program provides in depth knowledge about internal combustion engines of various types (electrical power generators/gas turbines in power plants/aircraft engines of all kinds/car engines). Different aspects will be presented such as materials, designs and selection criteria.

Targeted Groups:

  • Engineering directors and managers
  • Research engineers and scientists 
  • Experienced technicians and drafters
  • Those involved in vehicle design or engine application who would like to understand the engineering principles underlying an engine’s resulting performance

Course Objectives:

  • Presenting a historical introduction to internal combustion engines, showing their types, and a detailed explanation of each type according to the required cycle, and how to use them in converting chemical energy into thermal energy and then into kinetic energy, and how to benefit from it in each type.
  • Display the main parts for each type of internal combustion engine and display the sub-parts for each part of the engine
  • Clarify the way each part of the engine works and its components, its role in the engine operation process and its connection with the parts before and after the engine.
  • Clarify the process of designing and manufacturing parts
