Embry-Riddle partners with private and public entities to assist in developing solutions to today's and tomorrow's aeronautical and aerospace problems. Here at the world's largest aviation-oriented university, our focus on applied research is unique.
Fuel Mixing Diffusers
PI Ciprian Mancas
The problem of mixing fuel from a diffuser is inherent to the automotive field. The most turbulent flow over a diffuser allows the fuels to mix efficiently, which in turn, maximizes the efficiency of the diffuser. A high ratio of natural gas to diesel is desired to provide efficient ignition.
However, the current design of mixers ineffectively uses the mixture before detonation. This research project will allow students to re- engineer the diffusers with low efficiency into a more efficient ones.
