Laminar Burning
Velocities of Multi-Component Fuel
Blends at Elevated Temperatures and
Pressures
The Laminar Burning Velocity (LBV) of
multi-component fuel blends will be
investigated in this research. The LBV
is one of the fuel-oxidizer mixture
properties defined as the rate at which
the flame front moves into the unburned
gas in a laminar premixed combustion
process. The LBV has been
researched for several decades; however,
there were limitations of those results
such as low pressure, low temperature
and insufficient data. In this research,
for the first step, the LBV of basic
fuels and some research fuels
and their blends will be measured with
automatically controlled constant volume
spherical combustion chamber (spherical
bomb) at elevated temperatures,
pressures and various equivalence ratios
and establish large amount of database
of the LBV. After that, based on this
database new correlation for the LBV
will be determined. |

Topic:
Particulate Matter Sensor
Tim is working on a
sensor for the measurement of
particulate matter from diesel engines.
The sensor was invented by Professor
Hall and provides a fast, accurate,
portable, and cheap was to measure
particulate matter in an exhaust flow in
real time for use in engine control or
on-board diagnostics of emissions
control equipment. Tim's research
includes design improvements and an
investigation of the physical mechanisms
of operation of the sensor. The work is
funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. |
