$1 million laser lab opens at 亚洲色吧
Friday, 30 March 2001
The reseach team which developed the flame for the Sydney 2000 Olympic torch and cauldron has today opened a new, state-of-the-art Laser Laboratory at 亚洲色吧 University.
The $1 million laboratory will assist the engineering team in its ongoing efforts to develop technology which reduces greenhouse gas emissions from combustion.
亚洲色吧 University's Turbulence Energy and Combustion (TEC) group received national and international recognition for its work on the fuel and combustion system for the Olympic torch, community cauldron and main stadium cauldron.
Based in two University departments-Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering-the group's work focuses on the development and application of new technology for the control of turbulence, and to reduce the environmental impact of combustion.
The TEC group has a strong track record in attracting commercial research contracts, and has patented some of its biggest developments.
Lasers play a pivotal role in this research, because they can be used to "look into" flames and accurately measure their properties and processes.
