Course Description:
The fundamentals of combustion phenomena and the intrinsic chemistry of combustion processes. The theory of the essential combustion processes such as ignition, sustained reaction, stability and flame quenching. Processes that govern reactant consumption and product formation, in particular by-products that are formed that result in pollutant emissions, and the impacts and implications that combustion has locally and globally on the environment. Detailed examination of the entire range of combustion systems from diffusion flame processes to current developing technologies including millisecond catalytic combustion processes, noncarbon fueled combustion, fuel cells and plasma combustion.
