Multi-physics phenomena
Course 2 (20 hours): Multi-Physics Phenomena
Description: The role of the multi-physics phenomena has grown in importance in the combustion community over the last years. This is due to the intrinsic coupling between energy generation, fuel synthesis and material science with the combustion field. This course aims at providing fundamentals as well as an overview of target application for two multi-physics technologies: catalytic systems for green energy conversion and plasma assisted reactions. These two topics are strongly bound to the green energy and biofuel synthesis, topics of great interest in Brazil.
Although the instructors of this course are still not defined, we present a desired scope for two courses below. As defined in course 1 and given the diversity of these two modules, course two will be taught by only two experts, who ideally will be responsible to give lectures on advanced topics to all audience.
Module 1 (10 hours): Catalytic systems for green energy conversion. Coordinator: Rafael de Camargo Catapan. Content: Introduction to heterogeneous catalysts, adsorption and surface science, catalytic kinetics, evaluation on the catalytic processes such as catalytic combustion, reforming and partial oxidation, emerging catalysts for energy applications.
Module 2 (10 hours): Plasma assisted combustion. Coordinator: Diego Alexandre Duarte. Content: Fundamentals of plasma physics. Plasma chemistry. Plasma assisted combustion.
