CHEM ENG 4046 - Combustion Processes

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2014

The course aims to introduce basic concepts and principles of heat transfer encountered in chemical process industries. It covers analytical, empirical and numerical techniques for the solution of heat transfer problems. At the end of course diffusion mass transfer will be introduced.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    At the completion of this course, students will be able to:
    1 Understand the ongoing role of combustion, both of fossil and bio-fuels, in providing a more
    sustainable energy source for society, and the environmental challenges to be met to achieve this;
    2 Have a sound understanding of the principles of combustion;
    3 Understand the complexities of industrial combustion processes,
    4 Have a basic understanding of the mechanisms of combustion generated air pollution and the
    techniques that can be used to control them;
    5 Have a basic understanding of the complementary roles of measurements, modelling and scaling in understanding combustion, and in solving industrial problems;
    6 Have a basic understanding of the safety and handling issues associated with combustion;
    7 Be aware of the impact of different fuel properties on industrial combustion systems;
    8 Have a sound understanding of the responsibility of engineers to the community in terms of providing a safe healthy environment;
    9 Understand the need for lifelong learning.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
