Grading scale:
0-5
Description
The challenges of combustion and thermal conversion processes are today more and more related to chemistry.
This course:
- Introduces industrial scale combustion and thermal conversion systems and the chemistry associated with these processes, including formation of main emission components
- Introduces fundamental theoretical tools, including the use of expert software, for studying chemistry in combustion and thermal conversion processes
- Provides theoretical basis for working in academia or industry with chemical issues of combustion and thermal conversion processes
Learning outcomes
After completing this course, the students are expected to be able to:
- Define terms and concepts relevant to industrial combustion and thermal conversion processes
- Describe the basic principles of industrial combustion and thermal conversion processes and the chemistry within them, including products and the formation of main emission components
- Apply fundamental chemical theories for interpreting product characteristics and emissions from combustion and thermal conversion processes
- Analyze thermal-conversion-related problems using expert software by following given instructions
This course aims to improve the abilities of the students to:
- Work in groups
- Meet dead-lines
- Systematically analyze a problem
- Use literature in critical analysis of a problem
- Report findings according to scientific criteria
