COMBUSTION ENGINE EMISSIONS

Course Code: BTM 709 Credit Units: 03

Course Objective:
The main objective of this course is to introduce students the fundamentals, Operations and performance of internal combustion engines
and their different types; to provide them with the theoretical and experimental ability to operate, analyze and design internal combustion
engines; to assess the relation between engine power output to the required power for vehicle propulsion; to make them understand the
fuel metering systems and assembling and dismantling internal combustion engines.
