Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

  • Prepare methodology to solve technical problems in combustion chemistry and thermodynamics
  • Analyse and compare industrial combustion and aerodynamics in different furnaces and processes
  • Evaluate existing furnaces and processes and propose and explain alterations to these to decrease fuel consumption, and particle and CO2 emissions
  • Evaluate and justify for the best available combustion technology (BAT) for industrial processes
  • Explain and analyse the process for smoke gas measurement at combustion

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Good knowledge in thermodynamics and Transport phenomena corresponding to the courses MH1027 Thermodynamics of Materials and MH1018 Transport Phenomena.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • PRO1 - Project Assignment, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • LAB1 - Practicals, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • TEN2 - Written exam, 2.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
  • INL1 - Assignment, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Students who have not passed written assignment (ÖVN1) according to previous official course syllabuses are assessed on INL1 in current official course syllabus.
