Course abstract

During studies students obtaining knowledges about different kinds of fuels: solid, liquid and gas, their composition, parameters.Students get understanding of burning process, it's organization and providing of parameters. Methods and techniques of solid, liquid and gas fuels burning are studied. Students get knowledges about gas and liquid fuel burners: kinds, construction, parameters. The knowledges about different furnaces are obtained during course.
