Come enjoy some Texas barbecue and raise funds for the Greenhouse Gambler ski team!
Join us the MITEI Large Conference Room Monday from noon to 1:30 p.m. for an excellent Texas BBQ! It's great that so many of you will be able to join us. Didn't R.S.V.P.? Not to worry! Please join us anyway, and invite your friends.

Oxy-fuel combustion is a promising technology for carbon capture in natural gas power plants. Challenges in implementing the technology for gas turbines stem from the altered fluid properties in using carbon dioxide as the diluent in the combustion process instead of air as used in conventional combustion. A one-dimensional strained flame code is used to simulate the effects on flame consumption speed and emissions.
