Objectives
Combustion as a science has developed remarkably over the last few decades and has helped in improving the efficiencies of various processes like power generation, automobile engines, gas turbine, rocket engines and various other industrial processes. However, looking at the rapidly increasing energy demand, limited supply of fossil fuels and increased concern over global warming due to emissions, lot more needs to be done to further improve the system efficiencies, identification/invention of alternative sources of energy, development of reusable technologies and development of cleaner technologies. Fundamental research on combustion has made significant advances in modeling and diagnostics. Use of CAD & CFD models is fast emerging as an avenue for improved design of combustion systems and to validate new design concepts and ideas. Another important emerging area in combustion engineering is design of control systems for combustion processes. These techniques have helped in improving the system efficiencies, reduce emission levels and to prevent catastrophic failures. Although significant advances have been achieved in all these fields in recent times, the synergy between these different activities needs to be properly highlighted. In particular, the new emerging technologies combustion modeling, diagnostics and control as well as the advances in renewable energy and clean combustion technologies deserve a focused attention to form guideline for future research in these fields.
This workshop discusses the new emerging technologies for combustion modeling, diagnostics and control as well as the advances in renewable energy and clean combustion technologies and brings together active contribution of researchers from academia, industries and research institutions. The directions of future research are identified that will greatly help the combustion community.
The topics included in this volume are:
1. Flames/Fire science and fire safety
2. Emissions (Regulated and unregulated)
3. Gas turbine and power generation
4. Internal combustion engines and power generation
5. New/Renewable Fuels
6. Novel combustors and Sprays
7. Combustion modeling
8. Alternative fuels for large bore engines
9. Alternative fuels for aviation
10. Combustion dynamics
11. Energy environment nexus
12. Panel discussion
