Turbocharging of Combustion Engines and Fuel Cells

The module provides specific knowledge about the functionality and working principle of charging systems for combustion engines and fuel cells.

Hint

Recommended for 6th Semester

Content

A successful completion of the module enables students to

  • classify different charging principles according to their specific characterisitcs
  • describe interdependencies between charging system and engine
  • perform fundamental design calculations for turbochargers
  • analyze thermodynamic characteristic maps of turbines and compressors and evaluate them with respect to engine requirements
  • identify relevant failure mechanisms and deduce lifetime predictions from these

This course is highly practical in its approach!
