Downsizing power plants, scaled-up efficiency
The power plant of the future could be smaller, highly efficient and even portable, and researchers at Missouri S&T could play a key role in making this transformation happen. An S&T research team led by Dr. David W. Lipke, assistant professor of ceramic engineering, received a $1.45 million, U.S. Department of Energy, Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy grant to develop more efficient heat exchangers for energy production.
Reducing jet fuel emissions
Armed with a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Missouri S&T researchers are studying the emissions characteristics of black carbon from burning conventional and sustainable alternative jet fuels in jet engines at cruise altitudes.“
Assessing tornado damage to improve building codes
Less than 24 hours after tornadoes swept through communities across Missouri last May, Dr. Guirong (Grace) Yan was inspecting the damage in Jefferson City, one of the cities hit by the tornado outbreak. The information she gathered there will help in her efforts to improve building codes for municipalities.
