Course Description

Mankind gets most of energy from the combustion of fuel. Combustion is a complex phenomenon relating with chemical reaction, heat transfer and mass flow. This course presents combustion in aerospace engineering based on chemical thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Heat and adiabatic flame temperature calculations using JANNAF database will be exercised. Furthermore, explosion, premixed flame and diffusion flame will be discussed. This course will be gain knowledge and method related to DP2.

Course Objectives

Combustion is a complex chemical reaction. The goal of this course is to understand the combustion phenomenon applying quantitatively to chemical-thermodynamics and to be able to calculate the heat of reaction. Combustion is to be understood from the points of chemical equilibrium, heat transfer and mass flow. Furthermore, explosion, premixed flame and diffusion flame will be studied.

Grading Policy

Final examination (70%),mid-term examination (30%)
