Learning objective
The students should become familiar with the fundamentals and with application examples of chemically reactive processes in energy conversion (combustion engines in particular) as well as the synthesis of new materials. The lecture is part of the focus "Energy, Flows & Processes" on the Bachelor level and is recommended as a basis for a future Master in the area of energy. It is also a facultative lecture on Master level in Energy Science and Technology and Process Engineering.
Content
Reaction kinetics, fuel oxidation mechanisms, premixed and diffusion laminar flames, two-phase-flows, turbulence and turbulent combustion, pollutant formation, applications in combustion engines. Synthesis of materials in flame processes: particles, pigments and nanoparticles. Fundamentals of design and optimization of flame reactors, effect of reactant mixing on product characteristics. Tailoring of products made in flame spray pyrolysis.

Performance assessment
Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again)
The performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit.
Mode of examination
written 120 minutes
Additional information on mode of examination
The student is encouraged to participate in a mid-semester examination based on lecture and laboratory exercise topics which counts 20% to the final grade, if it serves as improvement. The student is allowed to use 1 page A4 (1 sheet onesided) with notes written by his own hand (no prints). This exam is intended to support the very basic understanding of the lecture material.
Written aids
2 pages A4 (1 sheet double sided) with notes written by the student by his own hand (no prints).
This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding.
Learning materials
