International Workshop on Propulsion, Sustainable Energy and Environment
Abstract
Clean and sustainable energy is of pinnacle importance for all applications in propulsion, power, energy, and mobility. The planned workshop will bring together renowned experts from around the globe to share the latest fundamental and applied research innovations for cleaner energy utilization in a wide range of devices extending from hypersonic propulsion to micro scale energy conversion using fossil and biofuels. The specific applications will include several specific research areas to include: hypersonic propulsion, combustion of fossil and biofuels, clean energy conversion for various stationary and propulsion applications (such as gas turbines and rocket engines), high intensity combustion, modelling and advanced laser diagnostics. Latest advances in the areas of biofuels production and their characteristics, value added products from various feedstock materials will be of special interest. Thermal management, emission control and environmental issues from selected energy conversion will also be explored. A round-table discussion will also be held with the aim to identify key areas of common interest that will help develop strategy to promote collaborative research on those focused areas. The international collaborations will help identify key novel technologies that show promise for viable options for improved performance, efficient and sustainable energy conversion in defined power and propulsion applications. Through international workshop we will bring together experts in selected fields spanning from fuels, biofuels, their cleaner utilization in current and future platforms of power, mobility and propulsion. The workshop will have several tailored technical tracks with presentations form world renowned technical experts in the field fuels, combustion, power and propulsion and air toxins with special focus on current and future R&D needs, challenges and opportunities. The workshop topics would include, but not limited to: ~ Hypersonic and Supersonic Propulsion ~ High speed combustion for propulsion ~ Computational approaches and advances ~ Advanced diagnostics ~ Biofuels, renewable fuels ~ Fuel reforming and value added products ~ Fuel flexible propulsion and power generation ~ Novel energy conversion technologies/New engine combustion concepts ~ Thermal management ~ Energy, environment and emissions control ~ Combustion modeling and simulation ~ Solid fuel combustion, pyrolysis and gasification ~ Gas Turbines in ship and air propulsion ~ Hybrid power concepts for engines ~ Hydrogen and Ammonia as fuel for engines ~ Renewable energy including solar, wind and biomass 2) A major outcome from this workshop will be initiation of international research collaborations and student/faculty exchanges between key institutions from India and abroad. It is expected that the workshop will provide a fruitful venue that will assist catalyse potential joint research activities in common areas of interest with selected institutions based on the strengths provided and future opportunities. It will provide good opportunities in building new research and educational collaborations with the selected institutions. We also plan to publish a research monograph with contributed chapters from various experts contributing at the workshop. We are planning to conduct a special session on experimental techniques in combustion,renewable and biofuels for power and propulsion. The research thrusts and gaps in knowledge will be very useful in Naval Aviation and shipboard propulsion needs, and for technology awareness in these areas.
