Description
The basic idea behind this MOOC is to present current data on fuel characterization, slagging, fouling, corrosion, and trace element transformations in a course that students and industry professionals can easily access.
This ensures that the research is understood and applied, and it provides a forum for students and industry to discuss the most recent research findings, as well as feedback from industry to the DTU research group on important new research subjects in the field.
