Course description
Objectives and Content
Objectives:
The course aims understanding of combustion as a physcial phenomena related to safety, energyproduction and enviroment
Content:
The course descreibes experimental description of combustion, thermo dynamical foundation, chemical kinetics, flame temperatures, equations and models for mass and energy transport, ignition and quenching, laminar and turbulent combustion in premixed flames and diffusion flames, droplet and dust combustion, creation of pollutants, detonations, modelling of gas explosions and simulation of explosions with the CFD simulator FLACS.
