Synopsis
This course will provide an overview of the nature of combustion, including the chemical reactions which drive the heat release from the fuel and air (the "reactants") and the fluid mechanics which enable the reactants to interact with the ignition source. Students will analyse how reactants are converted to products in the various types of combustion engines and furnaces. They will then investigate the special natures of liquid and solid fuels. Advanced content will include the application of the knowledge obtained to model or simulate real combustion systems.
