Introduction to processes of combustion of renewable and synthetic fuels and heat radiation, and methods for their calculations inside furnaces, boilers and combustion chambers. The objective is to provide the required foundation for students involved in research on any aspect of reacting flow, combustion and radiation, to be familiar with mathematical modelling and numerical simulations, which then can serve as guidance toward greater understanding of combustion of renewable and CO2 neutral fuels, and radiation processes that is required for producing combustion devices with ever higher efficiency and with lower pollutant emissions.

Student responsibilities:

Regular attendance at the classes (the lectures and computer exercises). Preparations of homeworks and seminars. Independent solving and successful submission of the project tasks assigned during the classes.

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

1 . Analyze combustion of renewable and synthetic fuels and heat radiation processes in modern engineering systems
