Heat Engines

In recent years, with the aim of breaking away from fossil fuels, research and development and verification tests of heat engines that use fuels that do not emit carbon dioxide, such as hydrogen, biomass, and ammonia, have been continued. At that time, deep knowledge of heat engines is required. In this class, based on knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, combustion physics, physics and chemistry, you will carefully read English textbooks and learn the basics of internal combustion engines.

熱機関は熱エネルギーを力学エネルギーに変換する装置であり，そのメカニズムや現象には多くの学問領域が関係する．本授業では，熱力学，流体力学，燃焼工学の知識をもとに，英文テキストを精読し，内燃機関に関係する基礎的事項について学ぶ．

The purpose of this class is to deepen a basic understanding of the operating mechanism of internal combustion engines and the physics of various phenomena, and to be able to explain them.
