Mass spectrometric study on biomass combustion
Mass spectrometric species measurements in flames are a powerful tool to investigate the formation of undesirable substances occurring in combustion processes.
During the combustion of biomass, a large amount of gaseous hydrocarbons is released during the initial heat-up phase. These species interact with each other increasing or decreasing the formation pollutants. Our goal is to evaluate these effects with a particular focus on soot precursors.
Your activities:
- experimental measurements of species profiles with a Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer
- simulation of the flame structure using a 1D code
- comparing results of measurement and simulation
What you will learn:
- you will gain a good understanding of the structure of a flame and of the thermal and chemical transport processes that need to be considered
- you will operate one of the very few test rigs of this type which exist in the world
The ideal candidate should:
- have basic thermodynamic and combustion knowledge
- ready to work in an experimental environment
