Objective
The student is able to:
- recognize the main components of the internal combustion engine and understand their functioning
- calculate the most important numerical values related to the combustion engine and interpret their meaning
- determine the air supply need of the internal combustion engine and understand the air-fuel ratio
- name different exhaust emission components and know their origin, negative effects and ways to decrease them
