INTRODUCTION FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES:- OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion apply direct force to some components of the engine. The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, or a nozzle. This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical energy.
The term internal combustion engine usually refers to an engine in which combustion is intermittent, such as the more familiar four-stroke and two-stroke piston engines, along with variants, such as the six-stroke piston engine and the Wankel rotary engine. A second class of internal combustion engines uses continuous combustion: gas turbines, jet engines and most rocket engines, each of which is internal combustion engines on the same principle.
COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is industry designed, to provide a broad understanding of the improvement methodology, concepts, and process. The methodology is presented with case studies and examples drawn from service,business process and manufacturing applications. The integration of manufacturing and maintenance is also addressed. With a heavy practice orientation, as much as a third of your time will be spent working through interactive practical exercises and assessments. This course is designed as an introduction to concepts and methodology.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
This training program is designed to provide an understanding of engineering-related problems related to the industry globally and a clear sense of what is required to effectively structure, establish measurements and solve problems. Participants will learn the goals and deliverables behind the solutions. Methodology as well as the most commonly used tools within each phase will be discussed. Participants will also learn how to support a problem solving initiative within their organization.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On successful completion of this course, the participant should be able to:-
- Understand the working of an ICE.
- Understand the methods involved to maintain ICEs
- Select ICEs better
METHODOLOGY
- The latest educational methods and strategies will be utilized.
- The course is designed to maximize delegate participation.
- Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily wrap-up sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with others and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions.
- The course shall be conducted through lectures, case studies, group discussions and exercises to reinforce participant’s learning.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Manufacturing and process, executives, managers, support employees, operational managers, technicians, engineers etc.
COURSE FORMAT
The course consists of formal content presentation interspersed with content quiz sessions. The presenter’s style involves intensive participant participation.
