Engineering Research Equipment Grant: High Power Copper Vapor Laser

该合同是购买高功率铜蒸汽激光器的部分资金，用于各种快速成像过程的照明。主要项目涉及湍流剪切流中的粒子弥散。其他用途包括研究燃烧液池的结构以及加工过程中的切屑和刀具磨损过程。主要项目应该有助于澄清颗粒惯性在湍流中小颗粒输运特性中的作用。粉末和喷雾的混合在许多燃烧和气固接触过程中是重要的。

This award is partial funding for the purchase of a high power copper vapor laser for use as a source of illumination for imaging various rapid processes. The major project involves particle dispersion in turbulent shear flows. Other uses include investigating the structure of burning liquid pools and the chipping and tool wear processes during machining. The major project should help clarify the role of particle inertia on the transport properties of small particles in turbulent flows. Mixing of powders and sprays is important in many combustion and gas- solids contacting processes.
