2018 ASME IMECE Combustion Mini-Symposium
Purpose and scope
The Combustion Mini-Symposium is intended to provide an opportunity for academic and industrial research professionals to present innovative research findings in all aspects of combustion, fire, and reacting flow research. Papers are solicited in all aspects of combustion including new and evolving areas such mini-IC engines, biofuels, UAV-based fire monitoring, and innovative coal technologies. Also of interest are papers in the areas of applied combustion, including, but not limited: burner design, emissions control, simulation and modeling, diagnostics and experiments, domestic and commercial building appliances, and power generation. Papers in traditional areas such as laminar and turbulent flame behavior, diagnostics development, propellants and energetics, IC and turbine systems, sprays and emissions, and other areas are all encouraged as well.
Paper submission and Selection
Prospective authors should submit an abstract online at the 2018 ASME IMECE web site before the deadline below. Abstracts will be used for preliminary screening and session planning. Final paper acceptance will be based upon review of the full paper according to ASME standards.
