After successful completion of the course, students are able to modell the fundamental physical and chemical processes in an internal combustion engine. They improve their knowledge of the coding software MATLAB.

A thermodynamic engine model is developed step-by-step and under guidance using the coding language Matlab. The most important contents are:

- Kinematics crank train

- Caloric mixture properties

- Conservation of energy, equations of state

- Modelling of the Combustion

- Wall heat transfer

- Gas Exchange

- Calculation of the efficiency

Handover code structure
