The Combustion Behavior of Hydrocarbons is an important topic in the energy industry. It is the process by which hydrocarbons react with oxygen to produce energy, and is a critical part of various energy conversion systems such as engines, turbines, and boilers. This 5-day course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the combustion behavior of hydrocarbons. The course will cover the thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena of hydrocarbon combustion, as well as the mechanisms of pollutant formation and control.
What are the goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
Understand the thermodynamics of hydrocarbon combustion, including the combustion chemistry and thermodynamic equilibrium of hydrocarbons
Learn about the kinetic processes of hydrocarbon combustion, including ignition, flame propagation, and extinction
Gain an understanding of the transport phenomena of hydrocarbon combustion, including turbulence, mixing, and heat transfer
Learn about the mechanisms of pollutant formation in hydrocarbon combustion, including nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions
Understand the strategies for controlling pollutant emissions from hydrocarbon combustion systems
Learn about the latest developments and trends in hydrocarbon combustion research and technology
