HYDROGEN COMBUSTION

We are studying hydrogen combustion to demonstrate that hydrogen can be used as an aviation fuel Now and in the Future. We are trying to minimize emissions at upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. We are also trying to demonstrate that coking and smoking problems can be eliminated during aircraft operations. This study will improve the performance and durability of injectors and will help us to understand the mixing and chemical reactions in the combustion to fully optimize the process.
