IC Engines and Gas Turbines

By Prof. Pranab K. Mondal, Prof. Vinayak N. Kulkarni | IIT Guwahati

Learners enrolled: 4762

This course deals with the gas power cycles. One part of the course is on IC engines and it focuses on the thermodynamic cycles for different fuels suitable for automobiles. Other part of the course has emphasis on thermodynamic cycle of aircraft engines and the components of the aircraft engine. Thus this course would provide an understanding on electricity generation or transportation application using gas as working medium.

INTENDED AUDIENCE : Undergraduate students of Mechanical/Chemical/Aerospace engg. (5 th semester onwards) and postgraduate students specializing in the thermo-fluids/ Fluid Mechanics/Aerospace/Automobiles; industry personnel associated with automobile and aerospace engineering; faculty members associated with Mechanical/Chemical/Aero-space engg.

PREREQUISITES : Basic UG-level Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics

INDUSTRY SUPPORT : Tata Motors, Ashok Layland, General Electric
