To pass the course, the students must:

• Complete the project assignment; and

• Pass the oral exam with a minimum grade of 5.5 out of 10

The project assignment consists of several parts, including analysis on experimental data provided by the lecturers and further theoretical and numerical analyses of combustion phenomena. Note that the submission of the assignment is compulsory for the admission to the oral exam.

The work on the assignment should be summarized in a report, to be written by a single student or in a group of maximum four. The final grade is the result of the oral examination (60%) and the grade obtained in the assignment (40%).
