Applied Combustion


The research activities of the group address a notably broad range of challenging topics of scientific and technological nature in the field of combustion, by means of theoretical, numerical and experimental methods. An important asset of the group is the complete set of experimental facilities available, several of them unique in Spain, which were designed to study problems of widely different nature and scales: combustion of gaseous, liquid and solid fuels; characterisation and control of pollutant formation; efficient and clean utilisation of alternative fuels, biomass and residues; applications ranging from small domestic appliances to large burners for energy generation, etc…
