Description The aim of the module is to provide the opportunity for the students to apply their CAE skills on a project that requires the integration of these skills.

SYLLABUS

Elements of engine turbocharging; Thermodynamics of turbo- and supercharging;

Basic compressible flow in engines (valves, manifolds);Elements of non-ideal compressible flows: shock, heat transfer, friction; Blading in Pumps and Turbines, Momentum Transfer; Turbocharging and gas turbines - principles of matching
Learning Outcomes By the end of the module students should be able to:
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific principles and methodology necessary to underpin the fundamentals of complex flows in engineering devices with application to a turbocharging system.
  • Manage the design process and evaluate outcomes of a turbocharging system.
  • Understand engineering principles and the demonstrate the ability to apply them to analyse a turbocharging system.
  • Demonstrate the knowledge of characteristics of particular equipment, processes or products related to a turbocharging system.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of contexts in which engineering knowledge can be applied to a turbocharging system.
