Editorial Note on Combustion and Energy Systems

Paul M

The Combustion and Energy Systems research groups conduct fundamental and applied research on problems in combustion, shock wave physics, heat transfer, and compressible gas dynamics.
Current research projects involve the combustion of alternative liquid fuels for automotive and aircraft propulsion; super-adiabatic combustion; combustion of solid particles with water for hydrogen production; particle combustion in air and fuel-air mixtures; thermal energy storage systems; loop heat pipes; heat transfer enhancement using microencapsulated, phase-change slurries; porous media; cooling of net-book computers; ultra-compact heat exchangers; optimization of heat transfer devices; fundamental propagation mechanisms of shock waves; detonations and explosions; computational modeling of hypersonic aerodynamics; high-speed propulsion; oblique-detonation combustion for scramjet engines; thermo-acoustics; and combustion noise
