Studies are carried out using shock wave heating to prepare the gaseous samples and laser diagnostics to probe the temporal evolution of critical species. This project is focused on investigation of various chemical processes for removal of NO x from combustion gases by the injection of nitrogen-containing additives. These additives imitate a gas-phase reaction sequence that converts NO x to N 2 . Of particular interest is the performance of the process at elevated pressures, such as found in gas turbines and Diesel engines. A list of current and recent projects in Pollution Sciences along with the name of the faculty and Ph.
D students involved is given here.
