Our industry partner, Zenyatta, is a Canadian mining company that is based in Thunder Bay (Ontario) and produces a pure form of graphite (99.9% purity), referred to as Albany. The proposed project aims to generate nanoparticles of graphene oxide from Albany, suspend it into jet-A (aircraft fuel), and study burning rate of the dope jet-A flames. Graphene-oxide doped jet-fuels can potentially enhance aircraft propulsion, helping Canada meet it's targets for fuel efficiency improvements. In order to address the above objective, graphite (provided by Zenyatta) will be added to jet-A and sonicated along with an oxygen containing agent in order to produce graphene oxide. One Master's and one Ph.D. student will be trained to complete the proposed project. During this, both students will gain hands-on experience with laser-based diagnostics, and will engage in multidisciplinary research (materials and combustion) whose outcomes can potentially improve aircraft propulsion. The knowledge generated from the proposed project will provide insight into thermal structure of preheated, premixed, pre-vaporized, doped liquid fuels, which is of importance to combustion science community. Upon successful completion of the proposed project and through a follow up grant application, the University of British Columbia, the National Research Council of Canada, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and Zenyatta will also aim to study the doped jet-fuel emission characteristics and potentially certify the fuel in North America and Europe.

我们的行业合作伙伴 Zenyatta 是一家加拿大矿业公司，总部位于桑德贝（安大略省），生产纯石墨（纯度为 99.9%），称为奥尔巴尼。该项目旨在从奥尔巴尼生产氧化石墨烯纳米颗粒，将其悬浮到jet-A（飞机燃料）中，并研究涂料jet-A火焰的燃烧速率。掺杂氧化石墨烯的喷气燃料可以增强飞机的推进力，帮助加拿大实现提高燃油效率的目标。为了实现上述目标，将石墨（由Zenyatta提供）添加到jet-A中并与含氧剂一起超声处理以产生氧化石墨烯。硕士一名，博士一名。学生将接受培训以完成拟议的项目。在此期间，两名学生都将获得基于激光的诊断的实践经验，并将从事多学科研究（材料和燃烧），其结果可能会改善飞机的推进力。该项目产生的知识将提供对预热、预混合、预汽化、掺杂液体燃料的热结构的深入了解，这对燃烧科学界非常重要。在成功完成拟议项目并通过后续拨款申请后，不列颠哥伦比亚大学、加拿大国家研究委员会、德国航空航天中心 (DLR) 和 Zenyatta 也将致力于研究掺杂喷气燃料的排放特性并有可能在北美和欧洲对燃料进行认证。
