Organisational profile
Today, we need to shift towards ultra-clean, highly efficient ‘low-temperature’ combustion methods. We are also seeing increased use of biofuels, and eventually the emergence of fuels derived from sustainable sources, such as solar and metal fuels. Optimizing combustion and process devices, in combination with different fuel formulations to minimize undesired emissions and maximize thermal efficiency, is essential to supporting both of these developments.
More accurate and efficient validated models are required to describe the complex interplay between multiphase and/or reactive flows. These topics fall within the broader theme of process technology, which combines complex flow phenomena with physical and chemical conversions.
We aim to educate and perform world-class scientific research on multiphase and reactive flows in the area of energy conversion and process technology, building a knowledge chain that consists of:
- development of fundamental models based on first principles;
- experimental validation of these models;
- application and lab-scale demonstration of (reactive) multiphase contact equipment;
- development of predictive tools for practical and industrial applications, derived from the fundamental models based on first principles and experiment.
