Fuels and Energy Conversion

This course introduces the conventional/bio fuels and aspects of the fuels’ preparation and handling and provides the fundamentals of the energy conversion process/equipment's (eg, combustion, gasification and pyrolysis) from these fuels. Thermodynamics analysis, process simulations and experimental methods in energy conversion systems will be discussed is details. Furthermore H2 generation, storage and utilization, fuel cells and carbon capture technologies (CCS) will be discussed as a part of the clean energy generation scenarios. The main applications of the fuel energy conversion systems will be presented throughout the module.
