Technische Verbrennung
6 CPWinterENFÜSBeing phased out
Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
Strongly recommended: Fundamental knowledge in mathematics and physics, themodynamics, and heat and mass transfer
Contents
The module will analyze the thermodynamics of combustion processes. Thereafter an introduction to chemical kinetics in combustion is given. This includes homogenous gas phase reactions, chain reactions, as well as ignition and extinction processes in homogeneous systems. The last chapter will demonstrate the technical application of the fundamental processes which have been studied in this class.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the module the student are able to describe the chemistry and physics of combustion processes is the aim of the module. Furthermore they can apply their knowledge about laminar and turbulent premixed and diffusion flames.
Assessment
• Prerequisite: • Successful completion of the computer lab including lab report (approxm. 10 pages) Final Module Examination: • Written examination, 90 minutes
