Planning Grant for an I/UCRC for Thermal Technology 0855846 Case Western Reserve University; David Schwam 0856012 University of Michigan; Arvind Atreya Case Western Reserve University (lead institution) and the University of Michigan propose a planning grant for a collaborative center focusing on a range of topics including combustion, melting technologies and advanced methods of waste heat recovery. The main research thrust of the proposed Center will be to develop methods, materials and equipment for waste heat recovery from process heating. While both universities have a well-established reputation in the proposed area of activity, their capabilities are to a large extent complementary rather than overlapping. UM is a leader in combustion research while CWRU is prominent in materials processing and process heating research. The proposed Center has the potential to improve sustainability and profitability of US manufacturing by developing new technologies that will reduce energy consumption and pollution. Emphasis will be placed on partnering with industry, other academic institutions and the national laboratories to establish and carry out long-term research programs for achieving its objectives. CWRU and UM undergraduate and graduate students will play a key role in the activities of the Center. A pivotal role in dissemination of the results will be played by professional associations including American Foundry Society, Forging Industry Association and others.

0855846凯斯西部储备大学、大卫·施瓦姆0856012密歇根大学、阿文德·阿特里亚凯斯西部储备大学(牵头机构)和密歇根大学提议为一个合作中心提供规划赠款，重点关注一系列主题，包括燃烧、熔化技术和废热回收的先进方法。拟建中心的主要研究重点将是开发工艺加热余热回收的方法、材料和设备。虽然两所大学在拟议的活动领域都享有良好的声誉，但它们的能力在很大程度上是互补的，而不是重叠的。UM在燃烧研究方面处于领先地位，而CWRU在材料加工和过程加热研究方面处于领先地位。拟议中的中心有可能通过开发减少能源消耗和污染的新技术来改善美国制造业的可持续性和盈利能力。重点将是与工业界、其他学术机构和国家实验室合作，建立和开展长期研究方案，以实现其目标。CWRU和UM本科生和研究生将在中心的活动中发挥关键作用。包括美国铸造协会、锻造行业协会和其他协会在内的专业协会将在传播结果方面发挥关键作用。
