The purpose and objective of the course are to provide students with:

(a) an introduction to, thermodynamics, heat transfer, chemistry, combustion and reaction kinetics fundamentals of technologies such as oxy-fuel and chemical looping combustion.
(b) an understanding of physical and chemical processes associated with carbon capture and sequestration.
(c) To establish, at an advanced level, an appreciation of fuel technology, power generation, combustion and environmental implications of clean coal technologies.

1. An overview of combustion fundamentals
* Reaction kinetics
* Combustion chemistry
* Flames
* Power generation systems such as, gas-fired furnaces, premixed-charged engines, oil-fired furnaces, gas-turbines, direct injection engines, fixed-bed combustors, pulverised fuel combustors, and fluidised bed combustors

2. Advanced thermodynamics and energy efficiency analysis

3. An Introduction to conventional and clead coal technologies

4. Oxy-fuel combustion

5. Chemical looping combustion

6. Carbon dioxide capture technologies
