CHBE468F

Research; Fundamentals of Photovoltaics

This course covers thermochemistry and chemical kinetics of reacting flows in depth. In particular, we focus on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels in both a phenomenological and mechanistic approach. Also, covers the specifics of premixed and nonpremixed flame systems, as well as ignition and extinction. Combustion modeling with equilibrium and chemical kinetic methods will be addressed. Environmental impact and emissions minimization will be covered in detail. Finally, the course will cover available combustion diagnostic methods and their application in laboratory and real-world systems.
