AIChE Annual Meeting
2017
2017 Annual Meeting
Topical Conference: Advances in Fossil Energy R&D
Topical Plenary: Advances in Fossil Energy R&D (Invited Talks)
Tuesday, October 31, 2017 - 1:05pm to 1:40pm
Advanced energy technologies are usually developed to meet emerging goals in stationary power, transportation, or aerospace applications. Research efforts typically focus on meeting energy goals such as efficiency, emissions, and cost. Less attention is given to possible âderivativeâ technologies where advances in energy conversion could also produce benefits for chemical conversion. This presentation will describe new developments in energy conversion that may also provide advantages for chemical production and process intensification. The talk will discuss emerging energy technologiesâcontinuous detonation engines, cold plasmas, rotating fluid bedsâand describe how they may benefit both energy and chemical conversion needs.
