Scientists from the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) study the feasibility of the application of optical techniques for measuring parameters, mainly on the temperature of the flame, to provide information in situ on the combustion process. The aim of the research is to automatically control these processes, which would reduce energy losses and reduce pollution levels associated with them.
In aircraft engines or in some industrial cameras happen a number of combustion reactions in
extreme conditions that make these in very
aggressive environments for research. There is too complicated to study and control of these processes given the high pressures and temperatures prevailing in these scenarios.
However, a group of scientists investigating UC3M how to improve measurements at these locations. Esteban García-Cuesta, under the direction of professors Anthony J. Ines de Castro and M. Galvan, the Departments of Physics and Informatics of UC3M, respectively, working in a multidisciplinary project for the recovery of physical properties in combustion processes, specifically the temperature of the flame.
