Course overview
The course covers the basics of thermal energy technologies that are common for combustion and fuels, with an emphasis on high temperature production processes. This course provides knowledge and skills necessary to understand, analyse and design modern combustion systems to account for fuel types, fuel properties, maximise output and minimise air pollution, including hybridising combustion with concentrated solar thermal energy and fuel upgrading using solar thermal energy. This course aligns with the program’s intent to demonstrate a chemical engineering body of knowledge and apply this knowledge along with critical thinking, creativity, and innovation for industrial and real-life complex problems.
