Organisation profile
Power & Flow focuses on clean and efficient combustion and process technology, to cater for fast-growing energy demands. Our mission is to provide education and to perform world-class scientific research on multiphase and reactive flows in the area of energy conversion and process technology, building a knowledge chain consisting of:
- fundamental models based on first principles
- experimental validation of these models using sophisticated (laser diagnostic) measurement systems
- application and lab-scale demonstration of (reactive) multiphase contact equipment
- predictive tools for practical and industrial applications, derived from the fundamental models based on first principles and experiment.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
-
SDG 1 No Poverty -
SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being -
SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy -
SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth -
SDG 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure -
SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities -
SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production -
SDG 13 Climate Action -
SDG 14 Life Below Water
