Combustion

Catalog description

This course introduces the principles that govern the conversion of chemical energy to thermal energy in reacting flows or combustion. Topics will be chosen from: chemical thermodynamics; chemical kinetics; transport phenomena; conservation equations; deflagrations; detonations; and diffusion flames. The course will also include discussions on energy landscape; combustion in propulsion and power generation devices; and pollutant formation. Students cannot receive credit for this course if they have taken AE5093 ST “Principles of Combustion”.
