PREAMBLE Availability of clean and
sustainable energy is of fundamental importance in all applications of
energy, power, mobility and propulsion. This workshop will bring together
renowned experts from around the globe to share the latest fundamental and
applied research innovations on clean energy utilization for a 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 of fossil and biofuels,
clean energy and power for various stationary applications, gas turbines, IC
engines and transport applications, biofuels and value added products,
thermal management, emission control 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. Through international partnership
the workshop will bring together experts in selected fields spanning from
fuels, biofuels, their cleaner utilization in current and future platforms of
power, mobility and propulsion. It will bring the awareness to young
scientists so that they know the topics of significant importance to work on
in their professional careers. The workshop will also bring networking
opportunities in common areas of interest. The planned workshop will have
several tailored technical tracks with presentations form world renowned
technical experts in the field on current and future activities. Some of the
planned activities include dedicated sessions on Biofuels and value added
products, Cleaner chemical to thermal energy conversion, Advanced combustion
technologies (including micro combustion, low temperature combustion and
distributed combustion, ultra-lean combustion, partially premixed
combustion), Internal combustion engines and conventional fuels, Combustion
of renewable fuels, New engine technologies, Spray combustion, Solid fuel
combustion and gasification, Fuel reforming, Supersonic combustion,
Detonation, Hypersonics, Combustion instability and control, Thermal
management, and Combustion diagnostics. The energy use, fuel flexibility,
high efficiency and performance continue to remain of pinnacle importance to
all sectors of energy and transport use. Although significant advances have
been achieved in all these fields in recent times, sustainability is still a
major issue both due to dwindling fossil fuel reserves and harmful effects of
combustion generated pollutants on the environment and the subsequent
greenhouse gases effects. Since hydrocarbons fuel use is expected to be the
major source of energy in all sectors of power, transportation and propulsion
for the foreseeable future, focussed research and development efforts are
needed to develop and deploy energy conversion technologies. The energy and
environment sustainability would require a multi-pronged approach involving
development and utilization of new and renewable fuels, design of
fuel-flexible combustion systems that can be easily operated with the new
fuels, and develop novel and environmentally friendly technologies for
improved utilization of fuels. The Indian Society for Energy, Environment and Sustainability (ISEES) provides a platform for such scientific exchange of information amongst scientists from the international scientific community worldwide. A three-day workshop, will be held at Jadavpur University, Calcutta, Indiathat will attract researchers and engineers from academia, industries and research organizationsfrom worldwide location to discuss major technological advances for sustainable in power, energy, transport and propulsion developments for diverse applications. Special focus will be on high speed propulsion, micro-scale power generation and novel combustion concepts using fossil fuels, biofuels and their mixtures. Of great importance is the production of value added products from bio-resources. Assessment of recent developments will reveal fundamental pathways and opportunities for future international collaborations. |
