International Conference calls need to increase the capacity of alternative fuel at Graphic Era University<\/p>\n
Dehradun, Nov 10<\/p>\n
On the second day of the international conference on \u2018IC Engines, Propulsion and Combustion\u2019 held at Graphic Era Deemed University, here today, scientists emphasized on the need to do research to increase the capacity of alternative fuel.<\/p>\n
Presenting his research paper at the conference, Prof. Jiang Huangwei of National University of Singapore said that ammonia has emerged as an excellent option of renewable energy as an alternative fuel. Its combustion proves helpful in increasing the efficiency of boiler gas, turbine and IC engine. Prof. Huangwei said that despite being a good source of energy, ammonia has some challenges such as low burning intensity, emission of polluting nitrogen and easy extinguishing. It is important to conduct research to deal with these challenges. He gave detailed information on the fuel prepared from a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen to make the combustion system carbon free.<\/p>\n
At the conference, Prof. Ming Sun Wu of National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, stressed the need to develop green propulsion technologies and said that a chemical called hydrazine is used as a propellant in rockets and spacecraft. This propellant not only pollutes the environment but also causes serious problems like cancer. He said that propellants like hydroxyl ammonium nitrate (HAN), ammonia dinitramide and hydrogen peroxide will help in reducing pollution. He shared information on HAN propellant through slides.<\/p>\n
Dr. S. R. Chakravarti of IIT Madras spoke about the experiments conducted on unstable combustion process in swirl combustor.<\/p>\n
70 research papers were presented and 12 technical sessions were held at the conference today. Dr. Jeevan Vachan Tirkey of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Dr. P. Aravindha Babu of Annamali University, Dr. S. Karmakar of IIT Kharagpur, Dr. P. Shanmugham of Council of Industrial and Scientific Research, Chennai, Dr. Vijay Patidar and Dr. Porpatham E. Of Vellore Institute of Technology Bhopal, Dr. Anuj Kumar Sharma of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University Lucknow, Dr. Jitendra Katiyar of Chitkara University, Chandigarh, Dr. Sujeet Yadav of IIT Delhi, Dr. Ashish Kumar of Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun, Dr. Gurunath, Valid EC Member, Dr. Rajesh Yadav of GD Goenka, Dr. Harshit Shukla and Shalini Pandey of UPES, Dehradun chaired these sessions.<\/p>\n
The international conference was organized by Graphic Era Deemed University and Graphic Era Hill University in collaboration with The Combustion Institute \u2013 Indian Section. Along with scientists from India and abroad, the conference was attended by\u00a0 The Combustion Institute \u2013 Indian Section, Secretary P.K. Pandey, HOD of\u00a0 Department Aerospace Engineering, Graphic Era Dr. Sudhir Joshi, Dr. Pushpendra Kumar, Dr. Puneet Gupta, Dr. Manvendra Singh, Dr. Gopal ji, teachers and students were present in the conference.<\/p>\n
