Summary
Multi-dimensional, high speed laser imaging facility for fluids and combustion. New high-speed laser diagnostics facilities will be established to enable Australian researchers to perform unique, real time measurements in combustion systems. Such novel capabilities will advance the science of combustion and facilitate the development of design tools for the optimisation of clean and efficient energy conversion devices.
Assessment and Optimisation of Mixing and Aerodynamic Characteristics of Multi-Fuel Burners for Rotary Kilns. Cement kilns are increasingly being used to dispose of waste and low-grade biomass fuels. Being nominally greenhouse neutral, these fuels reduce greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuels. However, their use also presents significant technical challenges, one of which will be addressed by the proposed program.

Cement kilns are increasingly being used to dispose of waste and low-grade biomass fuels. Being nominally greenhouse neutral, these fuels reduce greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuels. However, their use also presents significant technical challenges, one of which will be addressed by the proposed program. In building capacity of local industry to utilise these fuels in cement kilns, it will open the door to other opportunities in the future. It will also increase the export earnings of an Australian company who will commercialise these outcomes internationally.Read moreRead less
