Fundamentals of Combustion

Basic Combustion Reactions. Combustion is a rapid chemical combination of oxygen and the combustible elements of a fuel with a resulting release of heat. ... The theoretical amount of air is the amount required to burn all the fuel when the fuel and air are mixed perfectly.

Introduction to Propulsion

The propulsion system provides the required force/power to propel forward an aircraft/rocket or any other object moving in air or space. The propelling force is the most important aspect in the design and operation of aircraft/spacecraft mission. Every major technological breakthrough in propulsion and associated system has redefined the frontiers of aerospace sciences. The urge to improve propulsion systems keeps engineers and scientist busy alike till this day and will continue to do so in the future. When the atmospheric air is used as a working medium in a propulsion system, it is often known as air-breathing propulsion.This section explains the basics of air-breathing propulsion through simple analogies. The evolution of various types of propulsion systems in the history of aviation is traced, with special emphasis on the jet engines.

Engineering Thermodynamics

The objective of the course is to enable students to use the First Law of Thermodynamics to estimate the potential for thermo-mechanical energy conversion particularly in aerospace power and propulsion systems. This course is taught as part of the Unified Engineering course in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT.

Fundamentals of Combustion (Part 2)

This is an introductory course on Fundamentals of Combustion. The objective of this course is to impart knowledge on fundamentals of combustion to both UG and PG students. In this course, fundamentals aspects of combustion namely premixed flame, Gaseous Jet diffusion flame, Liquid fuel combustion are to be covered extensively. Besides this, chemical Emission from combustion, Quantification of emission, Emission control methods are to be covered briefly.

Fundamentals Of Combustion - I

Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a .... local municipalities use combustion analysis to define and rate the efficiency of vehicles on the road today. ..... Adherence to these two principles is furthered by making material and heat balances on the combustion process.

Introduction to Ancient Indian Technology
