Development of computational tools for industrial combustion

预计加拿大将遵循欧洲和美国某些地区的趋势，对运输和发电的空气传播污染物排放实行越来越严格的管制。 油价上涨进一步加速了对替代燃料效率和低排放发电系统的探索。虽然可再生能源对运输和发电越来越重要，但在可预见的未来，这些部门将依赖于大规模燃烧。 因此，必须开发新的燃烧装置，其可以在不同的燃料（包括混合燃料）上运行，保持最佳的操作条件并使空气传播的污染物（例如氮氧化物（NOx）和烟灰）最小化。

Increasingly stringent regulations on airborne pollutant emissions for transportation and power generation are expected in Canada following the trends in Europe and some parts of the United States. Rising oil prices have further accelerated the search for alternative fuel-efficient and low-emission power generation systems. Although renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important for both transportation and power generation, these sectors will rely on large-scale combustion for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, novel combustion devices must be developed that can run on different fuels (including blended fuels), maintain optimal operating conditions and minimize airborne pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and soot.
