Annotation -
The goal of the subject is to inform students about advanced computation methods of mass and enthalpy balance during gas fuels combustion. The overview of oxidation mechanisms of fuels and pollutants formation is given too. The basic types of gas combustion devices are given. The attention is also paid to combustion of liquid and gaseous fuels in combustion engines, influence of fuel properties on engine operation and exhaust emissions. Exhaust gas after treatment devices for combustion engines are described as well as utilization of alternative motor fuels.
