Course Description : This course builds on its introductory predecessor and is suitable for anyone who already has some diesel engine, diesel fuel or automotive engineering knowledge. The reciprocating piston engine is without a doubt the most influential machine ever invented. From its early beginnings as a steam engine, the piston engine has revolutionized the way we live, work and travel. This course examines this amazing machine and explains the 2-stroke and 4-stroke cycles in detail.
