Canceled on 2018.
This course presents mainly introductions to energy and power source from heat of reaction by hydrocarbon fuels. The base
of subject follows classical lines of separate discussions for thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer and combustion dynamics.
There are huge difference between the theoretical performance and the real. In this course, we will discuss about why the
real efficiency is always so poor and is it possible to overcome the theoretical efficiency. If not, what is the problem?
How much maximum power we can obtains? Shall we discuss about future energy and power source in our class.
