The purpose of an internal combustion engine is to convert the chemical energy in gasoline or ethanol into mechanical energy used to propel the car. The engine is one of the most complicated single parts of any vehicle.
Current/proposed outline:
Engine
- Basic ICE theory
- structure of typical engine
- Goals for engine in FS context -reliability, efficiency, power
- Common engines
- Best Practices
- rant about wankels not being allowed
Theory
Thermo - stick to the basics, there's enough thermo explanations in the world as is i think
pv chart
Structure
I think wikipedia does a very detailed explanation on general engine layout, i think we should probably focus on bike engines w.r.t. fsae competitions.
