Content
The course is composed of two parts:
1. Components analysis, thermodynamics and general mechanics:
- main kinematics chain and functional auxiliaries
- thermodynamics cycles, parietal effects, energy fluxes
- breathing: operation modes, suction and supercharging
- frictions, general architecture, main dimensions.
2. Use of fuels:
- combustibility properties and studies of combustion modes
- study of abnormalities and optimisation of combustion laws
- supercharging technology and control of polluting emissions.
The first part of the presentation gives the necessary bases for the calculations carried out during tutorials under the form of exercises or case studies.
The tutorials integrate in parallel the technological aspects of the second part of the course.

Teaching methods
Teaching is based on lectures, exercises and assignments.
Evaluation methods
The evaluation is based on :
- an oral examination on the theoretical knowledge acquired with the course supervisors
- a written examination on a practical implementation of the course's achievements
The weighting of each part is announced to the students at the beginning of the academic year. The default weighting is 70% / 30%.
Special circumstances may lead to a change in the nature of the examination. For example, the oral examination may become written, the exercise examination may be cancelled, etc. Students will be notified in due course.
