OISE 06-52352Farzad MashayekUniversity of Illinois at ChicagoThis is a US-UK workshop that focuses on electrostatic atomization of electrically-insulating liquids. This involves a diverse group of liquids including hydrocarbon fuels which are the main source of power generation, particularly in mobile systems such as cars, trucks and planes. The co-organizers of the workshop are Farzad Mashayek from the University of Illinois, Chicago and John Shrimpton at Imperial College London.The workshop will bring together a team of experts with international and industry participants. Various aspects of the research in this area have been conducted by several groups in Europe and the US with no particular commercial application to date. This workshop will facilitate the exchange of electrostatic atomization knowledge between Europe and the US and its migration to industry.The results of the workshop promise far-reaching impacts on several areas of intense interest to our national economy and security. For example, current technology for the direct injection of liquid fuels for combustion in gasoline, diesel, and jet turbine engines relies primarily on pressure forces to achieve atomization of the fuel into tiny drops, which in turn facilitates fuel evaporation, fuel-air mixing and combustion. These mechanical pressure forces can be assisted by electrostatic forces for better fuel atomization and mixture preparation that promises to increase combustion efficiency and lower harmful emissions of the incomplete combustion products CO, HC, NOx, and PM (particulate matter).

OISE 06- 52352 Farzad Mashayek伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校这是一个美英研讨会，专注于电绝缘液体的静电雾化。 这涉及包括烃燃料在内的各种液体，烃燃料是发电的主要来源，特别是在移动的系统中，例如汽车、卡车和飞机。 研讨会的共同组织者是来自伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的Farzad Mashayek和伦敦帝国理工学院的John Shrimpton。研讨会将汇集一个专家团队以及国际和行业参与者。 欧洲和美国的几个研究小组已经进行了这一领域的各个方面的研究，迄今为止还没有具体的商业应用。 本次研讨会将促进欧洲和美国之间静电雾化知识的交流及其向工业的转移。研讨会的成果将对我们国家经济和安全的几个领域产生深远的影响。 例如，用于在汽油、柴油和喷气涡轮机发动机中燃烧的液体燃料的直接喷射的当前技术主要依赖于压力来实现燃料雾化成微小液滴，这又促进燃料蒸发、燃料-空气混合和燃烧。 这些机械压力可由静电力辅助，以实现更好的燃料雾化和混合物制备，这有望提高燃烧效率并降低不完全燃烧产物CO、HC、NOx和PM（颗粒物）的有害排放。
