The objectives of this course are to introduce the student to the principles of industrial combustion engineering, including an external thermodynamic analysis of combustion systems, and an internal analysis of combustion system specifics. The course emphasizes problem solving and combustion engineering practice. Topics covered in this course include combustion properties of fuels, heat transfer and fluid dynamics in combustion systems, power plants, and emissions and emission control devices. Offered Fall Semester. This is an applied organic chemistry course.
Emphasis is largely on the major fossil fuels.
Combustion chemistry is not covered in this course, since it is dealt with extensively in F SC 416 and 422. The course includes some discussion of alternative fuels, such as oil shale and tar sands. Dr. Song . Offered Spring Semester. This course provides a study of the physical and chemical processes used to convert crude oil into desired products.
