Propellants and Combustion
ABSTRACT
The propellants and combustion communities continued to make great progress this year. Highlights in the fuels area
include research programs focused on multicomponent fuel sprays, surrogate jet fuel combustion, and nanopropellants.
Increasingly stringent aircraft emissions standards hare also placed more emphasis, on combustion technologies that achieve
lower NOx emissions, while combustion diagnostics were pushed to the limit in a program that acquired temperatures under
supercritical conditions such as those produced in a LOX/H2 combustion system.
