Research and education in the field
of combustion at the University of Oklahoma date back to 1963, when
Flame Dynamics Laboratory was established under the direction of
Dr. C. M. Sliepcevich, George Lynn Cross Research Professor and
Robert W. Hughes Centennial Professor Emeritus of Engineering. Initial
activities of this laboratory were focused on the 'hostile' aspects
of combustion such as fires. When Dr. Sub. Gollahalli, Lesch Centennial
Chair of Mechanical Engineering, joined the university in 1976,
the flame dynamics laboratory was expanded to the present Combustion
Research Laboratory, with research work on the 'beneficial' facets
of combustion such as performance improvement and emission control
of flames. Approximately one hundred students have completed their
research projects and more than three hundred publications have
been generated by the activities of the laboratory. The sponsors
of the combustion research at the university of oklahoma include
both government agencies (Coast Guard, DOD, DOE, DOT, NASA, NSF,
Army and OCAST) and industry (AGA, DOW Chemicals, EPRI and GRI). |
