6th International Workshop and Exhibition on Plasma Assisted Combustion

(IWEPAC)
1st CALL FOR PAPERS
September 13 -15, 2010
Lampoldhausen, Germany
Abstract Deadline 1 July 2010

Among about 110 Plasma Conferences to be held in 2010, IWEPAC is the only one devoted to the field of Plasma Assisted Combustion (PAC), combining an exhibition of operating plasma prototypes and market products, and business forum for industry experts and investors.

Established in 2003, IWEPAC provides a specialized forum for researchers, industry experts and venture capitalists to present and discuss scientific, engineering and marketing aspects of PAC, thereby advancing the field to help address critical energy, propulsion, pollution, and climate issues of the 21st century.

IWEPAC-6 will have nine separate sessions: (1) plasma ignition and flame control; (2) plasma generation, diagnostics, and modeling; (3) fuel reformation, activation and gasification; (4) plasma flow dynamics, (5) plasma kinetics, (6) new plasma effects and perspective applications, (7) waste-into-energy processing; (8) plasma aerodynamics, and (9) business forum. Each section will be followed by a round table session to facilitate discussions on prospective directions of activity and the creation of international research collaborations for joint project development and implementation, including coal and waste gasification, national plasma centers organization, etc.

IWEPAC-6 is expected to have from 40 to 45 oral presentations (30 minutes in duration, including questions and answers), and from 10 to 20 poster presentations. The poster session will be combined with the main sessions.

IWEPAC-6 will be held September 13 to 16, 2010 in Lampoldhausen, Germany (Frankfurt area). Exact address will be provided later.

During the workshop, we plan to honor new members of the International Council of Experts in the field of PAC, announce new International projects and research teams, provide support to junior scientists, and select papers for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science Special Issue on Plasma-Assisted Combustion.

IWEPAC-6 proceedings will be available in two formats: color booklet with abstracts and after-meeting DVD. The cost is included in the registration fee.

Presentations will be thoroughly reviewed and selected by the Steering Committee based on electronically submitted abstracts by July 1 to the address: i.matveev@att.net. Abstracts in MS Word format, font Times New Roman 12 with color pictures and authors brief CVs of no more than 1,000 words should demonstrate significant contribution to the field.
