Auburn University received a five-year, $459,780 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The award will support research into low-temperature plasma assisted combustion of oxygenated fuels to enable cleaner and more sustainable mobility solutions. Specifically, Auburn University researchers will investigate plasma-chemical effects on the low-temperature combustion reaction kinetics and ignition characteristics of oxygenated biofuels. They will leverage experimental and modeling tools tailored for plasma-assisted combustion to elucidate how low-temperature plasmas can alter the chemical reactivity of high-octane, oxygenated biofuels and implications for pollutant formation under fuel-lean and dilute-burn conditions. Outcomes will be demonstrated through plasma-coupled experimental facilities and numerical models. This research aims to fill knowledge gaps around applying low-temperature plasma technologies to advance internal combustion engines using renewable biofuels and achieve more sustainable transportation futures.
