An NSF Workshop on Research Frontiers for Combustion in the Hydrogen Economy; Arlington, VA; March 2006

美国伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的Nick G. Glumac教授将举办为期两天的研讨会，以确定未来氢经济中与燃烧相关的关键研究问题。研讨会将于2006年3月9日至10日在阿灵顿举行，与会者将来自学术界、工业界和国家实验室。该项目将包括30位个人的演讲，其他与会者将受邀参加分组讨论和圆桌讨论。研讨会的目标是(1)评估当前美国氢燃烧研究项目的状态，(2)确定氢燃烧研究的每个子领域中仍然未知或未完全解决的基本科学和工程问题，(3)确定氢经济潜在技术中需要进一步燃烧研究的机会，以及(4)将这些关键需求传达给科学和工程界。研讨会内容包括氢/空气燃烧的基本过程、氢内燃机、氢动力燃气轮机、氢的燃烧合成和氢的非均相燃烧。讲习班的成果将是一个网站和与会者编写的最后报告。本次研讨会的知识价值在于未来氢经济燃烧领域的知识进步。该研讨会将有助于确定与氢有关的关键技术和科学问题，这些问题需要在燃烧领域工作的人解决，以便充分发挥氢经济的潜力。对于将在这一关键研究领域工作的参与者和将阅读报告并访问网站的学生等其他人来说，讲习班的更广泛影响是在学习领域。研究结果将通过互联网直接传播给联邦机构、对氢燃烧感兴趣的行业、独立资助组织和基金会以及国家实验室。邀请将发送给从助理教授到正教授的各种各样的研究人员，女性和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员将参与其中。

ABSTRACTCTS-0610404An NSF Workshop on Research Frontiers for Combustion in the Hydrogen Economy Nick G. Glumac, University of Illinois Urbana-ChampaignA two day workshop will be held to identify critical research issues related to combustion in the future hydrogen economy. The workshop will take place in Arlington March 9-10, 2006 and will involve participants from academia, industry, and national laboratories. The program will include presentations from 30 individuals, with other attendees invited to participate in breakout groups and round table discussions. The goals of the workshop are (1) to assess the state of current hydrogen combustion research programs in the U.S., (2) to identify, within each sub-area of hydrogen combustion research, the essential science and engineering issues that remain unknown or incompletely resolved, (3) to identify opportunities within the potential technologies of the hydrogen economy where further combustion research is needed, and (4) to communicate these critical needs to the science and engineering community. The workshop includes sessions on fundamental processes in hydrogen/air combustion, hydrogen internal combustion engines, hydrogen-powered gas turbines, combustion synthesis of hydrogen, and heterogeneous combustion of hydrogen. The outcomes of the workshop will be a website and a final report prepared by the meeting participants.The intellectual merit of this workshop lies in the advancement of knowledge in the area of combustion for the future hydrogen economy. The workshop will help to identify critical hydrogen-related technologies and science issues that need to be addressed by those working in the combustion areas so that the full potential of the hydrogen economy can be realized. The broader impacts of the workshop are in the area of learning for the participants who will be working in this critical area of research and for others, such as students, who will read the report and visit the website. Results will be disseminated via the internet and directly to federal agencies, industries with interest in combustion of hydrogen, independent funding organizations and foundations, and national laboratories. Invitations will be sent to a diverse range of researchers from assistant professors to full professors, with participation by women and researchers from underrepresented groups.
