Student Support for Central States Section of the Combustion Institute 2012 Technical Meeting, April 22-24, 2012 in Dayton, OH

1212946 Ervin本提案寻求部分支持学生参加燃烧研究所两年一度的技术会议2012年中部各州分会。这次会议是一个论坛，来自学术界、联邦政府和工业界的燃烧研究人员齐聚一堂，讨论燃烧科学和技术的最新发展和研究。会议将于2012年4月22日至24日在俄亥俄州代顿市由代顿大学主办。本次会议将讨论的主题包括燃烧基础知识(例如，碳烟和NOx的形成)、应用(例如，燃气轮机)，以及使燃烧研究成为可能(例如，诊断和计算技术)。智力优势：鉴于燃烧在有效利用能源方面的作用越来越大，以及二氧化碳和其他排放对燃烧过程的强烈依赖，来自美国各地的燃烧研究人员齐聚一堂，提出和讨论相关的概念和技术，这一点至关重要。人们认为，由于陈述的预期质量，拟议的活动具有很高的智力价值。这次会议在可持续燃烧、替代燃料、燃烧诊断和创新燃烧概念等领域引发了发人深省的讨论，将导致新想法的形成。广泛的影响：这次会议是研究生与来自学术界、联邦政府实验室和工业的燃烧领域的顶尖研究人员互动的巨大机会。这次会议不仅是讨论燃烧科学和技术最新发展的场所，也是研究生形成长期合作的机会。此外，会议将允许学生发现他们未来可能从事的新的研究活动。会议将作为研究生教育的重要组成部分，并将有助于培养下一代燃烧科学家和工程师。

1212946ErvinThis proposal seeks partial support for student participation in the 2012 Central States Section of the Combustion Institute Biennial Technical Meeting. This meeting is a forum where combustion researchers from academia, federal government, and industry gather to discuss the newest developments and research in combustion science and technology. The meeting will be hosted by the University of Dayton on April 22-24, 2012 in Dayton, OH. The topics that will be covered at this meeting include combustion fundamentals (e.g., soot and NOx formation), applications (e.g., gas turbines), and enabling research for combustion (e.g., diagnostics and computational techniques).Intellectual Merit: In view of the increasing role of combustion in efficiently using energy resources as well as the strong dependence of CO2 and other emissions on combustion processes, it is vital that combustion researchers from across the United States meet together to present and discuss relevant concepts and technologies. It is believed that the proposed activity is of high intellectual merit due to the anticipated quality of the presentations. Thought provoking discussion generated in this meeting in the areas of sustainable combustion, alternative fuels, combustion diagnostics, and innovative combustion concepts will lead to the formation of new ideas.Broad Impacts: This meeting is a tremendous opportunity for graduate students to interact with leading researchers in the field of combustion from academia, federal government laboratories, and industry. This meeting will not only serve as a venue for the discussion of the newest developments in combustion science and technology but also as a chance for graduate students to form long-term collaborations. In addition, the meeting will permit students to discover new research activities that they may pursue in the future. The meeting will serve as an important component of graduate student education and will assist in the development of the next generation of combustion scientists and engineers.
