Course Objective

The main goal of the lecture is to give basic thermodynamics of combustion process and design principals of gas burners. The Lecture contents an introduction to first and second law analysis for chemical reactions, flames, classification of the burners, and environmental effects of combustion products.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Chemical balancing of combustion reactions, defining excess air, complete and uncompleted combustion, stoichiometric reaction.
2   Applying first law analysis to combustion process; calculating enthalpy of combustion, lower and higher heating values.
3   Applying second law analysis to combustion process; calculating exergy change.
4   Classification of liquid and gas fuel burners.
5   Defining and classification of combustion emissions and precautions
