ENGINE BOOSTING
Application of fundamental fluid dynamics and thermodynamics principles to intake air boosting for internal combustion engines. Turbocharger and Supercharger design and operating principles, applications to engine system design. Includes both simple, single-stage systems, and multi-stage systems (series, series-sequential, parallel-sequential). Pulse conservation and exhaust gas recirculation will be addressed. Includes advanced considerations including the Miller Cycle, turbocompounding, and e-boosting.
Prerequisites & course information
Requisites: E P D 625 or concurrent enrollment Course Designation: Grad 50% - Counts toward 50% graduate coursework requirement Repeatable for Credit: No Last Taught: Summer 2025 Learning Outcomes: 1. Design a turbocharger compressor for a specific engine and speed range. Demonstrate how the match is impacted by charge air cooling and exhaust gas recirculation Audience: Graduate 2. Analyze and evaluate a turbocharger match for margin against surge, choke and overspeed. Audience: Graduate 3. Break down control points for compressor switching and turbine bypass for a given engine and turbocharger maps lay out the operation of a two-stage, series-sequential system. Audience: Graduate 4. Evaluate the impact of Miller Cycle application at constant BMEP and as a means on increasing BMEP. Audience: Graduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
