CHE 473 Heat Transfer in Radiating and Combusting Systems (Radiative Heat Transfer in Combustors)

 

Credit Structure:(3-0)3

 

Catalog Description:

Black body radiation laws and their application. Radiative exchange in black enclosures. Radiative exchange in gray enclosures with no absorbing medium. Radiative exchange in gray enclosures with an absorbing medium. Radiation exchange in combustion chambers. Applications of radiation transport equation. Solution of the transport equation in combustion chambers.

 

Course Objectives:

The course is intended to give students basic principles and applications of radiative heat transfer in combustors any chemical engineer would come across with in petroleum refineries, utilities, industrial boilers, glass furnaces etc; abilities to communicate efficiently and to use modern engineering techniques, skills and tools.
