MEE 332 - Fundamentals of Combustion Science

An introductory course exploring the theory and application of combustion processes for the creation of heat and power. Topics include thermochemistry, combustion stoichiometry, chemical kinetics, and mass transport. Application of the concepts are used to model flame phenomenon within homogeneous and heterogeneous systems such as adiabatic flame temperature, laminar flame speed, flame geometry, quenching, and ignition. The course includes numerical simulation using Ansys Chemkin and discusses societal impacts related to fuel sourcing and emissions.
