Six conditioned lab spaces for bench-scale experiments (approximately 1500 sq. ft)

Three indoor unconditioned lab spaces for larger scale experiments (approximately 5000 sq. ft.)

Two laser / optical diagnostics laboratories (vibration-isolated tables etc.)

Working agreements with outside laboratories / testing facilities for specialized /large-scale experiments,

Exhaust systems capable of venting fires up to 400 kW (larger heat release fires can be handled at nearby facility)

High-Pressure Vessel (Bench-scale):

• Pressures up to 20 atm for combustion and non-combustion experimentation 

• Water-jacketed and capable of monitoring steady state combustion for extended time periods

• Includes optical access and water-cooled emissions sampling

High-Temperature Flow Reactor Facility

• Multiple flow-reactors providing a wide range of experimental conditions and capabilities

• Temperatures up to 1250 K and pressures ranging from 0.5 to 20 atm

• Ability to analyze gaseous, liquid and solid fuels for combustion and pyrolytic reactions

• Variable “air” and diluent compositions including products of combustion (CO, CO2, H2O, and NOx)

Precision-controlled oven with ramping ability for elevated temperature and self-heating experiments

Gaseous and liquid heating capabilities for liquid fuel vaporization and process analysis

Machining and fabrication capabilities (turning, milling and welding) on-site as well as relationships with multiple machine and fabrication shops to provide smaller and larger scale custom parts and components
