Course Materials:
There are many different types of automobiles – steam, electric, and gasoline – as well as countless styles.
Exactly who invented the automobile is a matter of opinion. Earlier accounts often gave credit to Karl Benz, from
Germany, for creating the first true automobile in 1885/1886. However, our knowledge of the invention of the true
automobile continues to evolve. The story of the invention of the automobile has become enriched with various other
figures who played a part in its history.

Module 2: Components of automobile

Overview:
Every automobile has a number of complex parts that help in the efficient and long term functioning of the car.
Some components such as automotive fluids and belts may seem trivial but are crucial to maintaining a healthy
engine. Automobile parts are being manufactured all over the globe with precision and advanced technological
methods. Some of the most important automobile components include the engine, gearbox parts, drive axle, steering
and suspension, brakes, and so forth.

Module 3: Two types of engines ( ICE - Internal Combustion Engine)

Overview:
The internal combustion engine was invented around 1790 by various scientists and engineers worldwide. Since
then the engines have gone through many modifications and improvements. Today, different applications of engines
form a significant technological importance in our everyday lives, leading to the evolution of our modern civilization.
The invention of diesel and gasoline engines has definitely changed our lifestyles as well as shaped our priorities.
The current engines serve innumerable applications in various types of transportation, in harsh environments, in
construction, in diverse industries, and also as back-up power supply systems for hospitals, security departments, and
other institutions. However, heavy duty or light duty engines have certain major disadvantages, which are well known
to everyone. With the increasing usage of diesel and gasoline engines, and the constantly rising number of vehicles
worldwide, the main concern nowadays is engine exhaust emissions. This study looks at basic phenomena related to
diesel and gasoline engines, combustion, alternative fuels, exhaust emissions, and mitigations.

2. Differentiate between gasoline and diesel engines
3. Advantages and disadvantages of each others.

Learning Outcomes:
After successful completion of this topic, you should be able to:
1. Explain thoroughly. how an Internal Combustion Engine. Operates

Course Materials:
1. 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.

2. There are two kinds of internal combustion engines currently in production: the spark ignition gasoline engine
and the compression ignition diesel engine

Module 4: Parts and functions of Gasoline engine
Overview:
Automobile engines are complicated mechanisms that are made up of several internal parts that work like
clockwork to produce that power that moves your vehicle. In order for the engine to operate properly it needs all of its
parts to be in good condition. One fault can be disastrous.
Most of the cars we have today have gasoline powered engines. A gasoline engine is an internal-combustion
engine which generates power by burning a liquid fuel or gasoline or a gasoline mixture like ethanol with the ignition
that is initiated by an electric spark.
The gasoline engine has different types which depend on several criteria. These criteria include their application,
method of fuel management, ignition, rotor arrangement, strokes per cycle, cooling system, and valve type and
location.

Module 5: Parts and functions of a diesel engine
Overview:
A diesel engine is similar to gasoline engine used in most cars. Both engines are internal
combustions engines, meaning they burn the fuel air mixture within the cylinders. Both are reciprocating
engines being driver by pistons moving laterally in two directions. The majority of their parts are similar,
although a diesel and gasoline engine operate with similar components, a diesel engine, when
compared to a gasoline engine of equal horsepower is heavier due stronger, heavier materials used to
withstand the greater dynamic forces from the combustion pressures present in the diesel engines.
