• Semester 6, position 4

In light of the fact that currently over 90% of world energy demand is satisfied by combustion processes, and that in the coming decades is projected that combustion will be the predominant technology, with a share of over 65%, this course is designed, keeping in mind the main goal is to introduce students in the area of the problems of sustainable development and energy, to provide better understanding, accept the findings and enable it to competently participate in its resolution.

After completion of this course students should be able to: - overview of the current and future challenges posed by the new scenario of the problem of energy efficiency and sustainable development, - use and apply combustion technology in existing and future energy systems and technologies, - apply acquired knowledge in this field in the industry and energy sectors, - work in research and development organizations.

The problem of energy. Energy sources. Fossil fuels, renewable energy sources, industrial and municipal waste. Environmental aspects - pollution of air, water and land. Basics of the combustion processes. Material and energy balances. Specifics of burning different types of fuel. The impact on the environment. The concept of sustainable development. Complex systems. Sustainable development in terms of the developed countries. Specifics for developing countries. Energy processes and devices based on combustion. New technologies.

Practical training shall include practical exercises, laboratory exercises, computational tasks and seminars. Within auditory exercises will be done more examples of material and energy balance of the combustion process and pollutants, as well as the explanation of the principle of measuring emissions of combustion products. Laboratory classes will include measurements of emissions of polluting components from the combustion process. In the framework of the computational task, students will do an individual task in connection with the material and energy balance of a combustion fuel. Seminar will cover the analysis of the introduction of alternative energy sources, more favorable from the standpoint of sustainable development in a particular energy device or process.
