Course
Description
A course devoted to the fundamentals of chemically reactive flow systems with application to modern jet, rocket, air-breathing engines, and other power generation systems. Experimental and theoretical foundations of steady-state reactions of homogeneous gas mixtures; application of mass and heat diffusion concepts to premixed and non-premixed gaseous flames, liquid-fuel droplet combustion; detonation waves, deflagration-to-detonation transition processes; reacting boundary layer flows, ignition of gaseous mixtures. Methods for evaluation of thermal and transport properties of gases and liquids will also be discussed. (No Prerequisite)
None
- Introduction
- Review of Chemical Thermodynamics
- Chemical Kinetics
- Conservation Equations for Multi-Component Reacting Flows and Concept of Conserved Scalars
- Detonation and Deflagration Waves
- Steady State
- Transition Mechanism
- Laminar Premixed Flames
- Laminar Diffusion Flames
- Gaseous Diffusion Flames
- Liquid Fuel Droplet in Quiescent Atmosphere
- Chemically Reacting Laminar Boundary-Layer Flows
- Ignition of Homogeneous Gas Mixtures
- Methods for Evaluation of Thermal and Transport Properties of Gases and Liquids
- To help students acquire better understanding of the fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical reaction processes in combustion systems by presenting a systematic description of various analyses developed for describing the fundamental processes involved in chemically reacting flow systems.
- To demonstrate the usefulness of basic principles by performing analyses and obtaining solutions for various combustion problems encountered in engineering so that individuals can use them in solving "real-world" problems.
- It is anticipated that the students, after completing the course, will have the capability to formulate models for simulating ignition and combustion problems in laminar flow conditions, to solve certain types of models, and to design laboratory experiments for some diagnostic measurements.
- t is my belief that the best way to learn is to present the material. I will give graduate students the chance to participate in team presentation activity. Students will be able to demonstrate their abilities to absorb and to present the material in class.
