Summary

The graduate will be able to describe the design and characteristics of vehicle combustion engines and explain the principles of downsizing and increasing the efficiency of the thermodynamic cycle. He will be able to calculate the geometric parameters of the engine and the dynamics of the crank mechanism and design a design solution for the connecting rod using modern computational methods. He will be able to describe the principle of cooperation between the engine and the generator in diesel-electric traction of rail vehicles and defend the prepared design project.
