Purpose of class
Combustion is an important method for obtaining energy of heat or power in our life. Combustion is a complex phenomenon including heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, and chemical reactions. In recent years, it has become possible to predict combustion phenomena by numerical simulation. However, there still remain lots of problems to solve. The purpose of the class is to understand the fundamentals of the combustion phenomena.
Course description
In this lecture, the fundamentals of the combustion phenomena are discussed.
Note) This lecture will be conducted in the so-called flipped classroom style. Students are required to watch the video materials online in advance and prepare for each class. Exercises will be conducted during the class time.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students should be able to deepen their knowledge of fuel and be able to explain it in their own words.
  2. Students should be able to deepen their knowledge of the structure and characteristics of the flame formed in the combustion field and to be able to explain it in their own words.
  3. Students should be able to deepen your knowledge of the chemical reactions undergoing in flames and to be able to explain it in their own words.
  4. Students should be able to deepen their knowledge of the mathematical formulas that describe the events contained in the combustion field and be able to solve simple problems.
