PROJECTS
Low Temperature Soot Regime of Propane in a Micro Flow Reactor(Φ=2.3mm) with Controlled Temperature Profile – Thesis(Masters)
? Investigated the dependence of critical sooting equivalence ratio of propane/air on temperature(750-1250°C) in a cleanroom
? Developed an interface using LabVIEW for data acquisition to control gas flow rate as well as the temperature of the reactor
? Ascertained the exhaust gas composition using a gas chromatograph (Shimadzu GC 2014) fitted with TCD and FID
? Suppressed the soot formation by decreasing temperature
