The scope of the H.M.C.S Laboratory is:
| Generic Research |
|---|
- Investigation of fundamental heterogeneous multi-phase, multi-component, reacting flows and related industrial processes
- Development of two-phase, reactive Computational Fluid Dynamics codes using Eulerian-Lagrangian and multi-fluid approaches
- Development of thermo-kinetic models for hydrocarbon oxidation; Development of combustion chemistry models for thermal process optimization (e.g. diesel auto-ignition, cool flames) and pollutants emission control from combustion processes
| Industrial Research |
|---|
- Experimental aerodynamic and thermo-chemical characterization of prototype and industrial burners;
- Modelling of particle induced mechanical erosion wear (e.g in pipes, ducts, mills)
- Development of multi-criteria assessment tools integrated with the Life Cycle Analysis for techno-economic & environmental impact assessment
- Process optimization – industrial energy auditing – energy saving solutions
- Optimization of pulverization methods using a prototype ring-type mill
