Research Projects
Research at the UCICL is
focused on the conflict between energy generation and environmental impacts. Researchers
apply laser diagnostics and computer modeling to practical combustion problems. The goal
of each project is inevitably related to reducing pollutant emissions from combustion
devices while maintaining or improving combustor performance, including overall system
efficiency.
The Laboratory addresses continuous
combustion systems such as aeroengine gas turbines, furnaces and boilers,
stationary gas turbines, and rockets. Representative models of practical
systems and their components
form the bulk of the experimental hardware, and carefully designed facilities
provide realistic operating conditions including practical firing temperatures
and pressures.
