DEAR FRIENDS,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Joint meeting of the Polish and Scandinavian-Nordic Sections of the Combustion Institute, I sincerely invite you to Krakow.

​

​Two days meeting will be organized by AGH University of Science and Technology: Centre of Energy and Faculty of Metals Engineering and Industrial Computer Science. Various  aspects of combustion science and technology will be discussed  by scientists and engineers from fundamental physical and chemical processes to applications, including chemical kinetics, laminar and  turbulent flames, combustion diagnostics, coal and alternative fuels combustion, spray and droplet combustion, fires,    detonations and explosions, materials synthesis, engine combustion and energy systems.

 

During the conference the memory of Professor Stanisław Słupek will take place.

 

I am looking forward to seeing you in Krakow. I hope that you will leave this place enriched not only with knowledge, but also with many beautiful memories.

​

For any information or questions please contact us via psn2018@agh.edu.pl.

During the meeting the Polish Combustion Institute will have a memory of Professor StanisÅ‚aw SÅ‚upek, who created the combustion section at AGH.

 

Professor StanisÅ‚aw SÅ‚upek (1938-2006) graduated from Faculty of Metallurgy, AGH University of Science and Technology in 1962. He gained the full professor title in 1994. His scientific activity concerned the combustion of fuels and the pollution of environment resulted from these processes. He was a well known expert in combustion science and waste utilisation and the pioneer of national research on the formation and reduction of harmful pollutants in power and metallurgy industries. He was an author and co-author of scientific papers and books, he supervised 10 PhD theses. He was also a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences and The International Flame Research Foundation as well as Committee for Scientific Research.  

He was a vice-dean of Faculty of Metallurgy, AGH (1978-1981), a head of Department of Thermal Technology and Environmental Protection in AGH (1991-2006) and also a head of the Department of Industrial Furnaces and Environmental Protection at the Faculty of Process, Materials and Applied Engineering, Częstochowa University of Technology (1997-2006). He created and was a head of School of Energy at AGH.

INVITED SPEAKERS

 INVITED SPEAKERS 

Alexander A. Konnov, Lund University, Sweden 

​

“Flame propagation: experiments vs. kinetic modelling”

​

Alexander A. Konnov has got his M.Sc. degree in Physics at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1981 and his PhD in Physics and Mathematics at the Institute of Chemical Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences in 1985.  Since then he worked in Kazakhstan, France, Belgium and Netherlands.  His main scientific background is in experimental investigation and modeling of NOx in industrial flames, as well as in development and validation of detailed reaction mechanisms for combustion modeling.  Alexander A. Konnov is since 2009 professor at the Division of Combustion Physics, Lund University, Sweden. His scientific activities cover fundamental research in combustion of conventional fuels and of bio-fuels, burning velocities and dynamics of laminar flames, development of predictive models for NOx and other pollutants formation based on detailed reaction mechanisms.

David Pallarès, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

​

"Modeling of Large-Scale Fluidized Bed Units”

​

David Pallarès has got his MSc degree in Energy Technology at Politechnical University of Catalonia in 1998 after which he worked in the energy industry in Spain. He obtained his PhD in Energy Technology at Chalmers University of Technology in 2008. His research focuses in the modeling of large-scale fluidized bed units, which are used in several energy-related processes, e.g. combustion (air-fired, oxy-fired, chemical looping, oxygen carrier-aided), gasification (direct, indirect) or CO2 capture. Experimental work - including development of new experimental techniques - is an essential part of his activities, since this is used for the development and validation of the modeling. Thus, he is active in several of the research groups within the Division of Energy Technology. The goal of his research is to assess the design, scale-up and performance of fluidized-bed processes, with special attention paid to the use of non-fossil fuels.

In 2011, he founded the French Centre of Excellence on Chemical Kinetics and Aerothermodynamics of Clean and Safe Energy and Propulsion Systems (CAPRYSSES); he directed this Center until 2016. His main research domains concern chemical energy conversion for energy generation and propulsion. He is the author of more than 170 publications referred in the WEB of Science and has an H-Index of 29. He supervised 70 PhDs in combustion and related domains at the University of Orléans. He had several national and international responsibilities, such as President of the Federation of the European Sections of the Combustion Institute (2001-2014) and member of the International Combustion Institute Board (2002-2014). He was the Principal investigator of several research programs on combustion and propulsion with various industrial partners.  He received the French distinction "Chevalier des Palmes Académiques and he is a Fellow of the International Combustion Institute.
