In this module, you will study Python - an extremely popular programming language. You will learn Python by writing programs related to chemical kinetics. Once you can write simple programs in Python, we will introduce you to Cantera. With Cantera, you will be able to simulate different types of combustion systems. Cantera is an extremely popular tool that is used in several universities and organizations for research and industrial purposes.
While designing combustion systems, flame speed plays an important role in determining their performance. In this module, you will learn how to calculate flame speeds. Note that this parameter depends upon the type of reaction mechanism that is being employed and the thermodynamic conditions in the combustion chamber.
You will also perform a sensitivity analysis that helps you determine which of the elementary reactions are going to affect the flame speed the most.
In this module you will learn the following topics:
In this module, you will be trained in the core concepts that are used while simulating combustion in complex 3D geometry. Here you will learn about the current trends along with the cutting edge tools that are used in the industry.

Auto Ignition
Highlights
In this project, you will be exposed to the Cantera reactor network and its uses in solving various models. The reactor network allows you to calculate the expansion/compression work, heat transfer, mass transfer, and surface interaction with the environment. The auto-ignition gives the time required for combustion to take place and to control it can be beneficial for controlling pollutants as well as for complete combustion.
Sensitivity Analysis
Highlights
The correct description of chemical changes requires the application of reaction mechanisms consisting of several hundred or thousand reactions. This means that a huge number of parameters describes the chemistry of the combustion process. Hence, the application of the sensitivity analysis techniques is very useful for its understanding of those parameters.
Detailed chemical models are too big for many practical combustion simulations. Sensitivity analysis can be used for mechanism reduction, that is, finding a smaller model that produces similar predictions for some of the variables (i.e., species concentrations and temperature).
Flame Speed
Highlights
The flame speed is the measured rate of expansion of the flame front in the combustion reaction. The flame speed of fuel is a property that determines its ability to undergo controlled combustion without detonation. This project is the study of flame speed by considering the effect of temperature, pressure and concentration on it.
Reaction Reduction
Highlights
This detailed mechanism for methane-air combustion(GRI3.0) is probably the most famous one. It comprises 325 reactions and 53 species. The reduced mechanisms include only the top reactions and the associated species. The reduced mechanisms with a certain number of species are able to adequately simulate the ignition delay, sensitivity problem. Such a reduced mechanism saves a lot of computational resources as well as time.
Cantera is an open-source suite of tools for problems involving chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and transport processes. Cantera utilizes object-oriented concepts for robust yet flexible phase models, and algorithms are generalized so that users can explore different phase models with minimal changes to their overall code.

Our instructors are industry experts who are working or have worked in Fortune 500 companies. We also partner with academicians who help us craft course content that will best support our students get recruited and start adding value for their organization from day one.
Our course content is pre-recorded. You will be given access to this content immediately after you have enrolled in our course. Alongside the course videos, you will also be given assignments each week. You will work on these assignments and have it evaluated by our technical support engineers. Apart from this, you will also work on industry-oriented projects that will improve your understanding of the various tools used in the industry and their underlying principles.
You should be pursuing or have graduated with a B.E/B.Tech in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering.
Our team of dedicated Technical Support Engineers are always available to answer any queries you might have when you are studying. Studying online courses on your own often comes with the problem of lacking motivation, our Technical Support Engineers will work with you to ensure that you complete the course work and start working in the domain of your interest.
There are a number of ways through which you have your query answered.
You can ask your questions by raising tickets from your student window screen, and a technical support engineer will respond and help you achieve conceptual clarity. If you did not understand the solution, you can request the technical engineer to share their screen with you and they will explain the areas that you find difficult. Apart from this, you can also send us an email, which we will respond to in under 24 hours. You can also call us at our helpline number - which will be provided once you have enrolled in a course.

Besides this, you can also raise your queries through the Whatsapp number that will be made available to you.
A: The course that you studied in college was designed years ago and does not take into account the current market trends or what the industry expects from graduates. Our courses have been designed in consultation with industry experts and leading academicians. Skill-Lync courses are geared to help you find employment as soon as you complete the coursework. This is possible only because of the projects that you will complete as part of your curriculum, in your college you might have done one major and one minor project. But, each module in a Skill-Lync course has a corresponding project, and these projects are industry-oriented. Which means that if you were to look at the project that an engineer at a top OEM is working on, it will be similar to a Skill-Lync project, the only difference being the scale of the project.
Simply put - there's a world of a difference between what you have studied at your college and what you will get trained in when you study at Skill-Lync.
You will have an edge over your peers by working extensively on industry-relevant projects, practice on tools and software that will set you apart and help you in getting ahead of the competition. Along with this, when you enroll in a Skill-Lync course you will get access to the Skill-Lync Student Success Team - who will ensure that you get placed at the end of your course. They will help you polish your resume, and help you properly present your projects on your LinkedIn and other external pages. They will also scour for any opportunity that you might be qualified for and help you apply for it. After which they will help you train in all the possible variations of interview questions. Before the interview, you will also be trained in tool tests, in which your comprehension of all the tools that you have studied in the duration of the course will be cemented along with the underlying principles.
