Course Objectives:

• To learn physics of combustion, and chemical kinetics.


• To discuss the fundamentals of fuels and combustion technologies, and provide context into the
necessity for sustainable development of conventional fuel use, and options for alternative
fuels.
• Comparisons will be made between conventional fuels and novel / emergent fuels. Similarly
conventional and novel combustion methods will be discussed.
• The impact of continued hydro-carbon fuel use, and possibilities for a more sustainable future.
• To understands the tooles used to control emissions from the tail pipe.

Course Description:

Combustion processes as well as Basic principles of chemical equilibrium including Arrhenius


law will be first discussed. Multi-component conservation equations with chemical reaction will
be introduced. Various characteristics of premixed and diffusion flames will be studied which
covers flame structure, flame stability, flame stabilization,and flammability limit. Combustion
phenomena in gasoline engines, diesel engines and power plants will be discussed.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
After studying this course the student should:

1. Critically evaluate the properties of different conventional fuels, and describe, compare, and
evaluate key fuel properties such as energy density, polluting effect, cost, and availability.
2. Students should be able to evaluate the various advantages and disadvantages of different
conventional fuels
3. Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of conventional fuel properties, and systematically
apply this to evaluate the potential usefulness of novel and emergent alternatives to fossil
fuels, interpreting current fuel trends and evaluating the likelihood of future usage
4. Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of complex combustion features, being able to
describe in detail the following: combustion modes; equilibrium products of combustion;
economy-emissions compromises; pollutant compromises and important chemical
mechanisms.
5. Evaluate novel combustion technologies and identify the benefits over conventional
combustion techniques in : reduced pollutant formation; and lower-temperature combustion.
6. Describe the effects of accidental release, fire and explosion in the production, storage and
utilization of fuels, being able to cite significant incidents; evaluate the practical implications
associated with fuel handling of conventional and novel fuels.
