SUMMARY:Online Seminar on Evaluating Ceramic Matrix Composites Behavior Usi
 ng Versatile High  Velocity Oxygen Fuel Burner Rig for Testing by Dr. Jose
 ph El Rassi
DESCRIPTION:This online seminar entitled \"Evaluating Ceramic Matrix Compos
 ites Behavior Using Versatile High Velocity Oxygen Fuel Burner Rig for Tes
 ting\" will be presented by Joseph El Rassi\, The University of Akron\, Ak
 ron Ohio
 In this presentation\, we will review recent progress to develo
 p a compact combustor-turbine strategy to transition the high-speed\, unst
 eady flow from rotating detonation combustors to industrial turbines. 
 
 First\, we will discuss the evaluation of losses in a rotating detonation 
 combustor based on measurements and CFD. The structure of the detonation w
 aves is characterized using Chemiluminiscense and OH Pll F. The end wall p
 ressure is monitored using pressure sensors and heat flux gauges. The exha
 ust conditions are evaluated using Pitot probes\, FLASH\, and CARS.
 Seco
 nd\, we will discuss optimizing the transition from the combustor to the t
 urbine. The turbine has been optimized using a multi-objective strategy le
 ading to a new type of turbine configuration with significant diffusion ne
 ar the end walls. The optimal design will be first tested at warm conditio
 ns and then finally at hot conditions coupled with the detonation combusto
 r. 
 Finally\, to predict the performance of the future power plant\, we
  use an engine model based on the NASA T-MATS software. We will review our
  progress in the modeling of the combustor alone\, using the method of cha
 racteristics. 
 This research is funded by the US Department of Energy a
 nd capitalizes on the following: 
 
 Experimental facilities for testin
 g detonation combustors at high pressure.
 A tri-sonic turbine facility.

 
 A new engine test facility donated by Rolls-Royce Liberty Works.
 Advan
 ced high-speed laser diagnostics\, surface sensors\, and aerodynamic probe
 s.
 High-fidelity computational fluid dynamics.
