Ash Melting Behaviour and Deposition in Oxyfuel Biomass Combustion

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

The combustion of biomass is proposed as a “carbon neutral” alternative to fossil fuel utilisation and even a “carbon negative” technology when combined with Carbon Capture and Storage technologies such as oxyfuel combustion (Bio-CCS). Read more

Understanding crack branching via multiscale mathematical methods

The University of Manchester Department of Mathematics

There are many examples of branching in nature. the most celebrated of these is the way that rivers form by the coalescence of many small streams and rivers which build up to form a major river. Read more
