Combustion Characteristics covers all aspects of combustion and emissions, with a primary focus on troubleshooting operating changes on a variety of reciprocating engines—two–stroke cycle (2SC) and four–stroke cycle (4SC) engines, as well as naturally aspirated 4SC engines used as generators. Students of this course will receive instruction covering peak firing pressure (PFP), mean effective pressure (MEP), exhaust temperatures, turbocharger speed, fuel consumption, and emissions.
