Combustion: Fundamentals, Chemistry & Processes

The fundamentals of combustion phenomena as well as the intrinsic chemistry of combustion processes that are ubiquitous around the world will be explored. The theory of the essential combustion processes such as ignition, sustained reaction, stability and flame quenching will also be presented. The processes that govern reactant consumption and product formation, in particular the by-products that are formed that result in pollutant emissions and the impacts and implications that combustion has locally and globally on the environment. The entire range of combustion systems from diffusion flame processes to current developing technologies including millisecond catalytic combustion processes, non-carbon fueled combustion, fuel cells and plasma combustion will be covered in detail.
