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

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

Grading scale

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

Examination

• INL1 - Assignment, 2,0 hp, betygsskala: P, F
• LAB1 - Practicals, 1,5 hp, betygsskala: P, F
• PRO1 - Project Assignment, 3,0 hp, betygsskala: P, F
• TEN2 - Written exam, 2,5 hp, betygsskala: A, B, C, D, E, FX, 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.

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

Ethical approach

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
