Course Outline
Principles of Combustion: Thermochemistry, equilibrium, chemical
kinetics, flame temperature, flame velocity, flame stability, diffusion
flames, spry combustion, detonation, equations of motion including
reaction, heat and diffusion. Application of Combustion: Discussion of
combustion problem including pollution fire explosion hazards furnace
combustion chambers combustors for reciprocating engines, jets and
rockets. Boiler: Modular sectional and condensing types, burners for fuel,
gases liquid and solid fuels and part load characteristics, safety supply,
storage, solid fuel storage, mechanical handling, automatic stockers and
ash disposals. Fuels and chimney natural and forced draught operation
with and without acid condensation. Flue dilution systems, gas analysis for
efficiency and pollution monitoring. Control application and feedback the
theory to produce practical systems for plant and zone / emitter output
controls on off. Step and analogue controls, centralized systems and
modern computer control using optimization, self-adaptive and self-tuning
conditions and energy monitoring. Standard, legal aspects, codes of
practice for design, installation, operation, insurance and safety.
Environmental Issues: Flue emissions, CO, CO2, NOx, particulates and
combustible emissions, acid, rains, asbestos removal.
