Learning Outcomes

This course will provide an introductory overview to the fundamentals of combustion. Students will gain familiarity with the basic concepts responsible for sustaining and controlling a combustion front. The course will build from the governing equations describing the unique balance of transport processes in a flame and will begin to explore some of the unique features occurring in these complex phenomena.

Content

- Thermodynamics of multi-component gas-phase systems. - Introduction to reaction kinetics, including: chemical equilibrium, reaction rates, Arrhenius reaction rates, law of mass action, steady approximations for radicals, and partial equilibrium assumptions. - Reaction networks and emissions formation pathways. - Flame theory and governing equations. Derivation of governing equations and analytic approaches to laminar burning velocity. - Laminar premixed and diffusion flames, with emphasis on flame structure, stabilization, and phenomena.

Workload and Credit Points

Fundamentals of combustion (IV):

Workload description	Multiplier	Hours	Total
Attendance	15.0	4.0h	60.0h
Homesworks/Exam Preparation	15.0	8.0h	120.0h
			180.0h(~6 LP)

The Workload of the module sums up to 180.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 6 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The fundamental and theoretical aspects of the course will be covered in twice-weekly integrated lectures. These lectures will present the theoretical concepts and will incorporate exercises (in groups and/or under-supervision) to demonstrate the key concepts. During the semester, students will be obligated to complete ~5 homework assignments (alone or in small groups at the student’s discretion). A written, open-book, open-note final exam will compose the last component of the evaluation.

Requirements for participation and examination

Desirable prerequisites for participation in the courses:

Desirable: Introductory thermodynamics and/or fluid dynamics. Introductory heat transfer is also helpful. Required: none

Mandatory requirements for the module test application:

This module has no requirements.

Test description (Module completion)

Course evaluations will be based on the combination of Homeworks assigned and collected throughout the course as well as a final, comprehensive written examination. The final exam will span the entire course content, and will serve to demonstrate a working knowledge and mastery of the topics within the course. Course notes and textbooks will be allowed, however the email will need to be completed individually.
