Projeto 2: LABORATORY OF ADVANCED COMBUSTION DIAGNOSTICS

(Project concluded on November 30, 2020)

The main objective of this project is to provide the RCGI with state-of-the-art infrastructure for the development of advanced combustion systems. The laser measurement systems together with a single cylinder research engine with optical access will allow the development of efficient combustion chambers and burners. The advanced combustion concepts aim at the minimization of emissions like slip methane, unburned non-methane hydrocarbon, and NOx. The advanced diagnostics tools for the laboratory are Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA); Time-Resolved Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (TR-PLIF); Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA); Laser-Induced Phosphorescence for Temperature Measurements (T-LIP) and Tomographic Particle Imaging Velocimetry.
