Engineering Reserach Equipment Grant: An Integrated OpticalSystem for Studying Particulate Formation Transport and Burning in Combustion Environments

该奖项是部分资金用于购买各种光学 用于研究燃烧中颗粒行为的设备 环境. 具体的研究将包括颗粒的形成， 扩散火焰，静电产生的喷雾的使用 燃烧，燃烧气体在壁上的颗粒沉积，以及 热泳法在局部气体原位测量中的应用 温度 所获得的信息将有助于理解燃烧 导致颗粒形成的过程。 既有用 例如粉末合成的应用和不希望的副作用， 因为将更好地理解煤燃烧中的灰分形成， 因此，希望能更全面地控制。

This award is partial funding for the purchase of various optical equipment for use in the study of particle behavior in combustion environments. Specific studies will include particle formation in diffusion flames, use of electrostatically generated sprays for combustion, particle deposition on walls from combustion gases, and the use of thermophoresis for in-situ measurements of local gas temperature. The information obtained will be useful for understanding combustion processes which result in particle formation. Both useful applications such as powder synthesis and undesired side effects such as ash formation in coal combustion will be better understood and thereby, hopefully, more fully controlled.
