The National Science Foundation awarded a $242,890 Project Grant to Stec Technology, Inc. under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop a low thermal electro-emulsification solution to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions in marine diesel exhaust by 80% and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 30%. The goal of the project is to incorporate the emissions reduction technology into a fuel processing system that can be integrated into existing diesel...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $318,990 will fund research at Marquette University from January 2023 through December 2025 to develop a state-of-the-art combustion simulation tool for modeling multicomponent fuel droplets in high-pressure engine environments. The tool aims to capture the impact of realistic fuel composition on soot formation with greater fidelity than existing surrogate approaches. As part of the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the research seeks to...
This $274,042 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development and demonstration of a bench-scale reactor for a high-temperature reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) process. The project aims to improve the materials and design of the RWGS reactor, which can produce electrofuels (e-fuels) from electricity, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen as a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels,...
This $145,234 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program will support collaborative research at the University of Akron to advance the understanding and applications of supercritical fluids.
