Combustion

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    The aim of this course is to provide students with the needed knowledge and skills, which enable them to define and illustrate the combustion phenomena. In addition to apply the first law and second law of thermodynamics on reacting systems. Moreover, to obtain the concentration of species at chemical equilibrium. Predict the necessary combustion parameters when analyzing typical fuel burning process. Share ideas of updated problems of combustion related to the international energy crisis and work in a team in effective manner under controlled supervision or independently.
  • Course Goals
  • Quality Education
  • Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
  • Responsible Consumption and Production
