Outline and Purpose of the Course	The aim of this lecture is to understand the measures for improving thermal efficiency and exhaust emissions of reciprocating internal combustion engines such as gasoline, diesel and gas engines. For this end, this lecture describes thermodynamic theories for the in-cylinder processes and fundamental ideas for higher thermal efficiency, less harmful matters' emission and utilization of alternative fuels.
Course Goals	To understand the factors for the thermal efficiency and power output and the formation mechanisms for harmful matters based on fundamental knowledge of thermodynamics and chemistory. To obtain the idea for improving combustion applying basic understanding of combustion processes in spark- and compression-ignition engines.
