A seminar on 'Combustion of Gaseous Fuels and Nanofluid Droplets' by Prof. Ruey-Hung Chen was organized by the Clean Combustion Research Center on Monday, June 29, 2015 at Building 5, lev. 5, Room: 5209.

Abstract

Previous and current work of the author on non-premixed burning of turbulent gaseous fuel jets and evaporation and burning of liquid fuel droplet containing nano-sized particles is reviewed.  The implication and future work in the context of reducing pollutant formation will also be discussed.
