Abstract
Abstract : The design of high-energy-content synthetic fuels is an area of significant interest to the U.S. Department of Defense. Toward this end, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has initiated an RD&D project to investigate the addition of coated boron nanoparticles to liquid fuels for gas turbine combustion applications. The Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) of the University of Hawaii is collaborating with NRL on this project. HNEI is focusing on the conduct of experiments in benchtop burners with simple flow-reaction geometries to investigate fundamental multi-component/phase droplet ignition, burnout, and emissions phenomena. Both single droplets and group burning will be explored and results will be applied toward the development of combustion models and the interpretation of data obtained in more complex flame geometries. This Final Technical Report summarizes the activities undertaken at HNEI during the initial 10.5 months of the project, when it was supported via an award from NRL. The project currently is continuing under direct funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
