Supercritical Water Gasification Offers Promising Waste-to-Energy Technology

In a recently accepted article in the ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering journal, NRG student Brian Pinkard explores the reaction behavior of complex molecules such as methanol, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol in supercritical water.  Working with Professor Kramlich and Professor Novosselov of UW’s Mechanical Engineering department, Pinkard proposes global reaction pathways in addition to discussing …

NRG Explores Electrohydrodynamic Flow in 2019

2019 proves to be a strong year for NRG’s research in electrohydrodynamic flow.  Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) involves the study of plasma actuators to generate plasma that can then be controlled with the application of an external flow, and in the past year NRG has produced 10 articles involving analytical, experimental, and numerical investigations of EHD.  From …
