International Symposium on Sustainable Energy, Power and Propulsion
Abstract
Propulsion.The International symposium is proposed here that will be held at Jadavpur niversity, India, between 3rd and 5th January 2015. This workshop will bring together renowned experts from around the globe to share the latest fundamental and applied research innovations on clean energy utilization fora wide range of devices extending from micro scale energy conversion to hypersonic propulsion using fossil and biofuels. The specific applications will include the research areas of: hypersonic propulsion, combustion gas turbines, fossil fuel combustion, clean energy and power for various stationary applications, biofuels, combustion, thermal management, and environmental issues from energy conversion. It is envisaged that the world renowned scientists and engineers will share their latest research and development activities in the above areas for clean and efficient energy use with due considerations to energy sustainability. A round-table discussion will also be held to identify key areas of common interest and to develop a strategy to promote collaborative research on those focussed areas. The international collaborations will help identify key novel technologies that show promise for viable options for improved, efficient and sustainable utilization of fossil fuels and biofuels during energy conversion for power and propulsion applications. The symposium is proposed to be divided into eight technical tracks in which the leading experts on the topic will present their work. These include dedicated sessions on Advanced Combustion Technologies (including micro combustion, low temperature combustion and Distributed combustion, ultra lean combustion, partially premixed combustion), Combustion of renewable fuels, spray combustion, Solid fuel combustion and gasification, Fuel reforming, Supersonic combustion and Detonation, Combustion instability and control, Thermal management, and Combustion diagnostics. These topics are of significant importance to the US Navy for sea and air applications. The energy use and energy performance continues to remain of pinnacle importance to the US Navy due to their needs for lower fuel consumption and enhanced performance from all the fleets. This in turn require one to enhance engine efficiency, reduce pollutants emission, lower thermal and noise signatures, and enhance life of the engine. With the depletion in Hydrocarbon fuel reserves and with the growing demand for energy to sustain the rate of growth to reduce poverty, it is imperative to develop new technologies to reduce energy cost and to improve efficiency of the existing systems. The energy use, power generation and propulsion poses direct impact on the environment with subsequent effects on local and global climate. The propulsion application is of special interest as it links directly for our future capability to hypersonic flights with much reduced travel times over longer hauls on the globe. Therefore, one must focus on clean and efficient sustainable and “green” energy production from conventional and alternative energy sources and develop technologies for a range of applications from Micro, to mega scale as well as high speed hypersonic
