Prerequisites
Understanding the concepts of thermodynamics, heat transfer, kinematics and chemistry are the basis for success.
Objectives
Technical training on the operation of piston engines (diesel and explosion). Project and design of heat engines: dimensioning parameters, construction, performance and its impact on energy production, pollutant emissions, fuel consumption, etc..
Program
