combustion engineering

Combustion engineering is the study of how fuels burn to produce energy. It involves understanding the chemical reactions of combustion, where fuel combines with oxygen to release heat and light. This field is crucial for designing engines, power plants, and heating systems, ensuring they operate efficiently and safely. Engineers in this discipline work to improve combustion processes, reduce emissions, and enhance energy output. They apply principles from thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and chemistry to solve complex problems related to the burning of various fuels, contributing to advancements in energy production and environmental sustainability.
