Course content

Thermodynamical basis, chemical kietics, transport phenomena, fundamental equations and models for transpor
of species and heat. Premixed and non-premixed flames. Turbulence and turbulent flames. Extinction and ignition. Formation of various desired or undesired chemical species (chemical products or pollutants) in chemical reactions. Combustion models for turbulent combustion. Individually designed special issues.

Learning outcome

The objective is to give thorough knowledge and understanding of important aspects of combustion as a physical phenomenon. This will provide a basis for further work on combustion in energy processes and other processes.

Learning methods and activities

Guided self study, colloquia. Excersises.

Required previous knowledge

The course requires knowledge that corresponds to TEP4125 Thermodynamics 2 and good knowledge of fluid dynamics and/or heat and mass transfer.
