Thermo-acoustic and aero-acoustic nonlinearities in green combustors with orifice structures (TANGO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"Combustion instabilities represent a serious problem for combustion-driven devices, such as gas turbine engines and domestic burners. These instabilities can cause intense pressure oscillations, which in turn causes excessive structural oscillations, fatigue and even catastrophic damage to combustor hardware. In recent years, the development of clean combustion systems with reduced pollution of t ...

New feedstock and innovative transformation process for a more sustainable development and production of lignocellulosic ethanol (BABETHANOL)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

"Today, USA and Brazil have massively invested in ethanol mono-production, taking advantage of their respective native crops, intensive culture practices and large availability of land. These renewable biofuel production models cannot be applied to most of the industrial and emerging countries. For these countries with limited land use, one of the best solutions to comply with their objectives of ...
