Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
9 chapters are successively covered in that course : combustion thermochemistry, conservation equations for multicomponent reacting systems, explosions of reacting systems, detonation and deflagration waves of premixed gases, premixed and partially premixed laminar flames, gaseous diffusion flames, turbulent flames (interaction turbulence-combustion), sprays combustion, measurement techniques in combustion.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To provide the students with the basis necessary to handle any problem dealing with combustion of liquid, gaseous and solid fuels : from the formulation of the type of problem to its resolution. The hypotheses generally assumed are highlighted.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Course MECA0002-0 "Thermodynamique appliquée et introduction aux machines thermiques"
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Practical exercises are solved with the students (to illustrate the different concepts) and some homeworks are suggested. Two training laboratories are proposed on test benches available in the laboratory and visits of industrial installations are also organised.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
The course consists in an oral presentation illustrated by practical examples. It is given during the first semester.

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
A personal home work is asked on a topic chosen in a list. The assessment consists in the personal home work (75%) and training laboratories reports (25%).
