Course Objective

Flames and Fires, Combustion of fuel for heating, power production by coal and oil burning power plants are all concerned with combustion phenomena. In order to avoid unwanted fires and to make use of solid, liquid, gaseous fuel products we have to learn the combustion phenomena characteristics in detail. Therefore understanding the mechanisms of combustion and giving fundamental engineering solutions are the aim of this course.
This introductory course begins with a general overview of the combustion fundementals, continues with investigation of basic combustion which occurs in liquid fuels and gaseous fuels. Finally pyrolizing solids will be investigated and some of the methods concerning to combustion solutions will be given near the end of the course.
