COMBUSTION PROCESSES

ME 769

Course Description

Combustion theory and practice. Thermodynamics of combustion, flame theory, detonation, spray and droplet combustion related to various engine applications. Knowledge of internal combustion engines [such asM E 469], thermodynamics [such asM E 561], and combustion [such asM E 569] strongly encouraged.
