1039787SoloiuThis MRI proposal requests funds to purchase a Horiba MEXA-1230PM particulate matter analyzer that will be used to study biofuel combustion products in a multidisciplinary research program. It will complement Georgia Southern?s commitment to renewable energy research and education, demonstrated by its spending over $400,000 to purchase test engines, dynamometers, and analytical instrumentation. While biofuel combustion is typically "cleaner" than that of petroleum, its products, including soot, remain an urgent problem. Support of this proposal will greatly expand Georgia Southern's ability to contribute new ideas and approaches to the fields of biofuel formulation, combustion, and emissions, while enhancing both undergraduate and Master of Science education and research experience. The requested instrument will be used by our faculty in engineering, combustion, controls, public health, and chemistry as well as qualified researchers throughout the region. Six faculty from the Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology, one from Jiann Ping Hsu College of Public Health, and three researchers from the Herty Advanced Materials Development Center helped to prepare this proposal.

1039787索洛这份MRI提案申请资金购买Horiba MEXA-1230 PM颗粒物分析仪，该分析仪将用于研究多学科研究计划中的生物燃料燃烧产品。这将补充佐治亚州南部S对可再生能源研究和教育的承诺，其花费超过400,000美元购买测试发动机、测功机和分析仪器就是明证。尽管生物燃料燃烧通常比石油“更清洁”，但其产品，包括烟尘，仍然是一个紧迫的问题。这项提议的支持将极大地扩大南乔治亚州在生物燃料配方、燃烧和排放领域贡献新想法和新方法的能力，同时提高本科生和理科硕士的教育和研究经验。我们的工程、燃烧、控制、公共卫生和化学领域的教员以及整个地区的合格研究人员将使用所需的仪器。来自艾伦·E·保尔森科技学院的六名教员、建平卫生学院的一名教员以及赫蒂先进材料开发中心的三名研究人员帮助准备了这份提案。
