👉 Burn engineering is the scientific discipline focused on optimizing combustion processes to achieve efficient, stable, and clean energy production. It involves understanding and manipulating the complex interplay of chemical reactions, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and mass transport within combustion systems—such as engines, gas turbines, or industrial burners—to maximize energy extraction while minimizing pollutants like NOx, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons. By tailoring parameters like fuel-air ratios, ignition timing, turbulence levels, and combustion chamber geometry, engineers enhance flame stability, reduce thermal NOx formation through techniques like lean-burn or staged combustion, and improve overall system efficiency. This field bridges fundamental combustion science with practical applications, ensuring sustainable and high-performance energy solutions across sectors from automotive to power generation.
