Support for student travel to the 33rd International Symposium on Combustion, Beijing, China, August 1 - 6, 2010.

1048498Ronney该奖项为大约25名研究生（也可能是本科生）提供旅费和生活费，帮助他们参加第33届国际燃烧研讨会并在该地点展示他们的研究。所有获得此资助的学生将是(i)美国公民或永久居民（ii）美国认可大学的全日制博士生（iii）由其学术顾问支持，并提供推荐信证明，以及（iv）项目委员会接受的贡献论文的作者或合著者。NSF基金的目标是增加研究生参加会议的人数。知识价值：燃烧研究是一个多学科领域，包括工程和科学的不同学科。社会依靠燃烧来发电、运输和制造。燃烧研讨会为国际技术思想交流提供了一个论坛。政策制定者也将出席会议，参与信息交流。这项活动的智力价值来自于来自各国的国际燃烧专家的参与，他们的技术成果的传播，他们与学生的交流以及他们对未来研究方向的展望。更广泛的影响：超过80%的世界能源生产和使用是基于化石燃料的燃烧。燃烧在传统的能量转换系统中无处不在，如汽车发动机、固定和飞机燃气轮机、火箭和太空推进、发电、工业炉、家庭和机构空间供暖。此外，高超声速推进、微尺度发电和材料合成等新兴技术领域严重依赖于化学反应流动过程。世界对燃烧过程的依赖导致了许多技术挑战，包括空气质量、能源效率、全球变暖和火灾/爆炸安全。因此，燃烧是一个活跃的、重要的研究领域。

1048498Ronney This award provides funding to help support travel and living expenses for about 25 graduate (and possibly undergraduate) students to attend the 33rd International Symposium on Combustion and present their research at that venue. All students supported by this grant will be (i) U.S. citizens or permanent residents (ii) Full-time Ph.D. students at an accredited U. S. university (iii) Supported by their academic advisor, as evidenced by a letter of recommendation, and (iv) An author or co-author of a contributed paper accepted by the Program Committee. NSF funds are targeted to increase the participation of graduate students at the meeting. Intellectual Merit: Combustion research is a multi-disciplinary field encompassing diverse disciplines in engineering and science. Society relies on combustion for power generation, transportation, and manufacturing. The combustion symposium provides a forum for international exchange of technical ideas. Policymakers will also be in attendance to participate in the exchange of information. The intellectual merit of this activity arises from the participation of international combustion experts from various countries, dissemination of their technical findings, their communications with students, and their visions of future research directions. Broader impacts: Over 80% of the world's energy production and use is based on the combustion of fossil fuels. Combustion is ubiquitous in traditional energy conversion systems such as automotive engines, stationary and aircraft gas turbines, rocket and space propulsion, electrical power generation, industrial furnaces, and home and institutional space heating. Moreover, emerging technology areas such as hypersonic propulsion, micro scale power generation and material synthesis depend critically on chemically reacting flow processes. The world's dependence on combustion processes has led to many technological challenges including air quality, energy efficiency, global warming, and fire/explosion safety. Thus, combustion is an active, vital area of research.
