Formation and reduction of NOX, SO2, CO, CO2 and solid particles. Main types of combustion facilities. Combustion efficiency and efficiency of combustion facilities.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will get knowledge about properties of fuels, combustion statics, types of combustion facilities and pollutants which are produced by combustion.
Course Contents
It summarises and deepens the knowledge of fuel energy parameters, and combustion balance calculations, and completes them by basics of combustion kinetics. Issues of harmful substance formation by combustion, inclusive CO2 abatement, follow.
