CODE 65949 ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA - ENERGIA E AERONAUTICA 9270 (LM-33) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/08 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 2° Semester TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course deepens the physical aspects of different types of combustion by theoretical models and experimental data, and analyses requirements and design solutions of combustors for aeronautical applications. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course provides the basic knowledge on combustion theoretical modeling and diagnostic techniques, and the applied know-how relevant for engineering applications. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course the student will be able - to understand the physical aspects of the combustion and their influence on flame size, stability and ignition; - to know and apply simple combustion models for premixed and diffusion flames of gas, liquid droplets and solid particles; - to discuss the requirements of the combustors for aeronautical applications and to identify appropriate design solutions; - to understand the background physics and the implementation problems of the optical techniques for combustion diagnostics; - to analyse experimental and numerical results in combustors TEACHING METHODS Theoretical and applied lectures: presentation and discussion of the theoretical contents, experimental and numerical results. Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Federico Scarpa (federico.scarpa@unige.it), the Polytechnic School's disability liaison SYLLABUS/CONTENT Principles of combustion, theoretical models and experimental data: detonation waves; premixed laminar and turbulent flames; ignition; flame stabilization; laminar and turbulent gaseous diffusion flames; combustion of a single liquid fuel droplet; atomization and sprays; burning of solids. Optical techniques for combustion diagnostics: background physics; application fields and experimental considerations; spray diagnostics; applied combustion diagnostics in internal combustion engines and gas turbines. Gas turbine combustors: design technology trends; fuel injection systems; flame stabilization; ignition performance; afterburners; low-emissions combustors. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY S. R.
