Implementation of Advanced Fuels and Combustion for Internal Combustion Engines
(2009-04)Advanced engine designs for transportation has shown significant reduction in engine-out emissions while simultaneously achieving gains in fuel efficiency by using Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) modes and feedback control ... -
From plant to the pump : how plant genome research at MU is helping to achieve bioenergy goals
(2009)Part of America's answer to the current energy crisis could be fuels made from plants. Fuel made from plant materials, such as cellulose or corn kernels, not only holds promise of reducing our nation's dependence on foreign ... -
A Research Program Nuclear Energy Conversion
(2009-04)Direct conversion of nuclear energy to electricity has been a challenging problem since the inception of the generation of electricity from nuclear reactions. The development of wide bandgap, p-n junctions in materials ... -
Next Generation Neutron Detection for Next Generation Nuclear Reactors
(2009-04)As the demand for nuclear energy increases worldwide, and MO reactors come online, so does the availability of spent fuel that may be used as a medium of terror. That is, fuel for and waste or byproducts from fissile ... -
A Research Program on Very High Temperature Reactors
(2009-04)Prismatic and pebble bed very high-temperature reactors (VHTRs) are very attractive both from a thermodynamic efficiency viewpoint and hydrogen-production capability. This project addresses numerous challenges associated ... -
Missouri S&T Hydrogen Fuel Cell EcoCAR
(2009-04)Today, the automotive industry is at a crossroads during the worst economic downturn in 75 years. Particularly frustrating is that this crisis struck just at a time when these companies were successfully restructuring ... -
Using a PV system to power an emergency water disinfection system
(2009-04)Emergency relief efforts commonly include the provision of safe drinking water to populationswhose normal water supplies have been disrupted. An alternative to the shipment of bottledwater to the impacted areas is the ... -
Energy Materials: Meeting the Challenge
(2009-04)Increasing awareness of environmental factors and limited energy resources have led to a profound evolution in the way we view the generation and supply of energy. Although fossil and nuclear sources will remain the most ... -
Future Renewable Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems
(2009-04)The mission of the FREEDM engineering research center is to develop the fundamental and enabling technology to demonstrate the FREEDM system and through such development and demonstration, foster a revolution in innovation ... -
