IC4201 Internal Combustion Engine Design Syllabus:

IC4201 Internal Combustion Engine Design Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 To impart the basic engine design skills to the learners such that there is seamless transition to advanced design concepts
 To provide the basic grounding on the piston engine design philosophy
 To provide knowledge for the design of engine components
 To provide the knowledge about design philosophy of engine subsystems
 To enable the student to use CAD for preparing production drawings

UNIT I GENERALIA

Principle of similitude, Choice of material, Stress, Fatigue and Noise, Vibration and Harshness considerations (NVH)

UNIT II DESIGN OF MAJOR COMPONENTS

Piston system, Power Cylinder System, Connecting rod assembly, Crankshaft system, Valve Gearing, Stress analyses.

UNIT III DESIGN OF OTHER COMPONENTS / SUBSYSTEMS

Inlet and exhaust manifolds, cylinder block, cylinder-head, crankcase, engine mountings, gaskets, bearings, flywheel, turbocharger, supercharger, computer controlled fuel injection system, Basics of ignition, lubrication and cooling system design. Introduction to design of catalytic converters, particulate traps and EGR systems.

UNIT IV DESIGN SPECIFICS OF TWO-STROKE ENGINE SYSTEMS

Arrangement and sizing of ports, piston assembly, intake and exhaust system, scavenging, application to automotive gasoline and marine diesel engines.

UNIT V CONCEPTS OF COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN

Preparation of working drawings of designed components using CAD system.

COURSE OUTCOMES:

The student will be able to
1. Select appropriate material for the engine components based on the functional requirements
2. Design engine components such as piston, connecting rod, crank shaft, and valves.
3. Design cylinder block, cylinder head, flywheels and subsystems
4. Design the ports and components for two stroke engines
5. Translate the design into drawings/models.
