Combustion

25 março 2021, 17:30 Edgar Caetano Fernandes

Combustion:

- chemical reaction: mass and energy balances
- the dissociation of CO2 and H2
- NOx formation (thermal, fuel and prompt mechanisms)
- type of fuels: gaseous, liquid and solid
- type of flames: diffusion, premixed
- physic of flames: diffusion, premixed , droplet and solid combustion
- the characteristic of premixed flames: laminar flame speed
- physics of ignition process

Evaluation of burners: what is a burner 
The problem of using blended fuels (new renewable fuels)
Evaluation of some issues while burning at lean conditions: problems with ignition, flame stability, emissions, noise
