2004-2005 Academic Activities

IV. Gas-Dynamic Plasma and Flame insulation and stabilization:

4.1. Development of new generation of high efficient uncooled combustion chambers on the basis of the Reverse Vortex (Tornado) Flow. Possible applications: light weight rocket and gas-turbine combustion chambers, low-emission combustion chambers.

4.2. Development of uncooled thermal plasma generators on the basis of the Reverse Vortex (Tornado) Flow. Possible applications: substitution of existing expensive thermal plasma generators with relatively low efficiency and water cooling.

V. Fuel conversion, hydrogen and CO production:

5.1. Research and development of the plasma catalytical processes of fuel conversion. Possible application: stationary and on-board systems for hydrocarbon to syn-gas (or hydrogen) conversion; coal gasification.

5.2. Development of the plasma chemical process of CO 2 dissociation. Possible application: fuel production on Mars.
