Pre-Requisutes	Nil
Course Objectives	To provide a sound understanding of how to select an appropriate fuel for a given combustion application How to classify and recognize the properties of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. To attain knowledge of the mechanisms and properties of both flames controlled by mixing as well as reaction. The influence of principal operating parameters on combustion efficiency, intensity, range of stability etc will also be developed via this course.
