MECH 658 - Advanced Combustion Theory and Modeling

Technical Objectives: MECH 658 builds upon the concepts presented in MECH 558 Combustion, focusing on development and solution of the transient-convective-diffusive-reactive equations chemically reacting flow systems. These governing equations will be used to solve a variety of steady premixed and non-premixed flames, as well as unsteady phenomena such as ignition and extinction. Upon completion of the course, a student will have met the following technical objectives:

• Derive the conservation equations in integral and differential form for chemically reacting flow systems.

• Solve diffusion-controlled non-premixed systems using reaction sheet formulations.

• Perform non-premixed flame calculations using CHEMKIN 4.1

• Solve premixed laminar flame systems using activation energy asymptotic analysis.

• Perform non-premixed flame calculations using CHEMKIN 4.1

• Determine the effects of flame stretch, heat loss and ignition and extinction phenomena.
