JNTUK B.Tech Fuels and Combustion gives you detail information of Fuels and Combustion R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Course Objectives: To impart the knowledge about the different kinds of fuels and principles of combustion, thermodynamics of combustion and flame propagation. The objective is to study and understand the combustion phenomena to increase combustion efficiency.
UNIT – I: Objective: The objective is to introduce the use and the application of different fuel types and characteristics. The student will be able to understand various fuel handling and storage methods.
FUELS: Detailed classification – Conventional and Unconventional Solid, Liquid, gaseous fuels and nuclear fuels – Origin of Coal – Analysis of coal. Coal – Carburisation, Gasification and liquification – Lignite, properties of coal, action of heat on coal, oxidation of coal, hydrogenation of coal, efficient use of solid fuels, manufactured fuels, agro fuels, solid fuel handling, properties related to combustion, handling and storage.
Unit-II : Objective: The objective is to expose the student about petroleum refining and conversion process in general and in India in particulars. Origin and classification of Petroleum, refining and other conversion processes, composition of petroleum with respect to combustion, property and testing of petroleum products, various petroleum products, Nature of Indian Crudes & Petroleum refining in India, storage and handling of liquid fuels, liquid fuels combustion equipment. ‖Types of gaseous fuels, Natural gases, methane from coal mine, Producer gas, water gas, blast furnace gas, LPG.
UNIT – III : Objective: The objective is to make the students study and understand basic principles of combustion and chemical kinetics.
PRINCIPLES OF COMBUSTION: Chemical composition – Flue gas analysis – dew point of products – Stoichiometry Stoichiometry relations, theoretical air required for complete combustion, Chemical kinetics – Rate of reaction – Reaction order – Molecularity – Zeroth, first, second and third order reactions – complex reactions – chain reactions. Theories of reaction Kinetics – General oxidation behaviour of HC’s.
UNIT – IV : Objective: The objective is to make the students study thermodynamics of combustion process and calculate adiabatic flame temperature.
THERMODYNAMICS OF COMBUSTION: Enthalpy of formation – Heating value of fuel – determination of heating value of fuels-Adiabatic flame Temperature –chemical equilibrium, Equilibrium composition of gaseous mixtures. Combustion analysis- problems.
UNIT – V : Objective: The objective is to study flame propagation, factors effecting the flame propagation of various kinds of fuels.
LAMINAR AND TURBULENT FLAMES PROPAGATION AND STRUCTURE: Flame stability – Burning velocity of fuels – Measurement of burning velocity – factors affecting the burning velocity. Flame Propagation – Solid, Liquid & Gaseous Fuels Combustion – Flame Temperature – Theoretical, Adiabatic & Actual – Ignition Limits – Limits of Inflammability.
Unit-VI : Objective: The students are to be exposed to various combustion systems and design of burners for different kinds of fuels. Combustion of fuel, droplets and sprays – Combustion systems – Pulverized fuel furnaces – fixed, Entrained and Fluidised Bed Systems. Burner Design: Basic features of solid, liquid and gaseous fuel burner, design consideration of different types of coal, oil and gas burners, recuperative and regenerative burners
Course outcomes
The students completing the course will be able to understand the various kinds of fuels, their characteristics and origin. Further the student will be enriched with enough knowledge to understand the thermodynamics behind combustion, flame propagation and choice of combustion systems.
