BME Combustion Research Group

Our research group was formed in 2017 by winning an OTKA-FK grant. The first internationally significant breakthrough was achieved in 2019 with the development of the Mixed Temperature-Controlled combustion concept, MTC. We are still working on learning more about the fundamentals of this combustion concept and employing it in practical applications. In particular, power plants, jet engines, boilers, and other industrial combustion plants can benefit from technology with particularly low emissions. Our research team is actively collaborating with Brno University of Technology and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Our latest collaborating partner is the Center for Energy Research, part of the Eötvös Lóránd Research Network. Solving problems in combustion is a complex task; in addition to the simultaneous mass, moment, and energy transfer processes, it is also necessary to consider reaction kinetics. We have already utilized this mindset in a number of alternative areas, from power plants to medical product development. 

The measurements are performed in the György Jendrassik Thermal Engineering Laboratory of the department, and mostly the ANSYS Fluent software environment is used for the simulation tasks besides Matlab. Our modular, low-emission burner can be operated with various gaseous and liquid fuels, including low-volatility biodiesels, and dual-fuel combustion is also possible. Our goal is to rationally solve global energy problems at the device level, contributing to a greener future. We have already utilized this mindset in a number of alternative areas, from power plants to medical product development. In the field of research and industrial relations, we focus on both domestic and international, market-leading, global players.
