OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS

Objectives of the Course Unit: Combustion is used in many devices in order to produce power or energy. Combustion that is called as an aero-thermo-chemistry by Von Karman consists of the definitions and concepts of aerodynamic, thermodynamics and chemistry subjects. It is necessary to study combustion specifically since it contains interaction of three sciences. Especially, it is intended to teach the used approaches in the definitions, concepts, calculation methods and modelling of combustion problems that are not covered in mentioned courses.
Contents of the Course Unit: Simple approach to Combustion, Chemical Transformations, Oxidation combustion reactions, combustion with air, Gas mixtures, Dalton law, Energy equilibrium in chemical transformations, Reactions at constant volume, High and low heating values, Adiabatic flame temperature, Chemical Kinetics, Conservation equations for multi-component reacting systems. Detonation and deflagration waves of premixed gases, premixed laminar flames, Gaseous diffusion flames, liquid fuel droplet, turbulent flames, Combustion in two-phase flow systems, chemically reacting boundary-layer flows.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
