Michigan Tech faculty will collaborate with Assistant Professor Scott Post of Bradley University, and engineers at the Keweenaw Research Center. The focal point of the laboratory will be a configurable high pressure combustion vessel with optical access. The laboratory will provide the foundation for basic and applied research for clean and efficient combustion with petroleum based and alternative fuels including biodiesel and ethanol. It will also provide the ability to examine the flammability and combustion characteristics of hydrogen and other fuels at elevated pressures and temperatures to improve safety standards and handling. The experimental investigations will be closely linked to computational research directed at developing and optimizing the next generation of clean engines. The laboratory will enhance established efforts in alternative fuels research at the University and enable new opportunities for collaboration within and outside the University.
