Specifically theresearch programs sponsored by the Office of Naval Research to characterize the fundamental combustionproperties of biofuels and biofuel blends for drop-in replacements for JP-5 aircraft and F-76 ship fuels to betterunderstand the practical differences that may occur in Navy gas turbine and Diesel engines with the use of suchpure and blended bio-derived Hydro-Reformed Jet (HRJ) and other synthetic fuels. Results from fundamentalstudies of the difference in laminar/turbulent flame speed, ignition delay, and reaction kinetics performed at NPSand collaborators at Stanford University in both shock tubes and combustion bombs will be presented. Researchperformed by NPS students on use of biofuels in high speed Diesel engines, including differences in performance,and detailed comparison of combustion dynamics will be covered. Research on advanced engine concepts, suchas rotating detonation engines (RDE) will be presented. Biography - Dr. MillsapsDr. Millsaps is Professor and Chairman of the Mechanical and Aerospace Department at NPS. He teaches andconducts research in thermal fluid systems and energy and power systems, as well as turbomachineryaerodynamics, heat-transfer, and rotordynamics. He received a Ph.D. from MIT in Aerospace Engineering in 1992. Biography - Dr. BrophyDr. Brophy is currently an Associate Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Department at NavalPostgraduate School. He is the Director of the Rocket Propulsion and Combustion Laboratory at NPS. ProfessorBrophy is an expert in high speed flows and rocket propulsion and has worked extensively with industry and otheruniversities supporting the Office of Naval Research and DARPA programs in Combustion Sciences.
