FUNDING-NSF
- Combustion and Fire Systems (PD-18-1407); No deadline
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
Research
areas of interest for this program include: Basic Combustion Science: Laminar
and turbulent combustion of gas, liquid, and solid fuels in premixed,
non-premixed, partially premixed, and homogeneous modes over a broad range of
temperatures, pressures and length scales; burning of novel and synthetic fuels;
development of predictive models and diagnostic tools. Combustion Science
Related to Clean Energy: Increasing efficiency and reducing pollution;
production and use of renewable fuels; biomass combustion, gasification, and
fast pyrolysis; technologies such as oxy-fuel combustion and chemical looping
combustion for carbon capture. Fire Prevention: Improved understanding of fires
to prevent their spread, inhibit their growth, and suppress them. Innovative
proposals outside of these specific interest areas may be considered. However,
prior to submission, it is recommended that the PI contact the Program Director
to avoid the possibility of the proposal being returned without review.
Proposals should address the novelty and/or potentially transformative nature of
the proposed work compared to previous work in the field. Also, it is important
to address why the proposed work is important in terms of engineering science,
as well as to also project the potential impact on society and/or industry of
success in the research. The novelty or potentially transformative nature of the
research should be included, as a minimum, in the Project Summary of each
proposal. Faculty Early Career Development(CAREER)program proposals are strongly
encouraged.
