----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP AND EXHIBITION ON PLASMA ASSISTED COMBUSTION -----------------------------------------------------------------------18-21 September 2007
Colleagues and researchers: we are pleased to announce the 3rd International Workshop and Exhibition on Plasma Assisted Combustion (IWEPAC), which will be held 18-21 September 2007 in Falls Church, Virginia, USA. The 3rd IWEPAC will provide an economically-affordable forum to present and discuss scientific and engineering aspects of plasma generation, plasma assisted ignition, flame control, fuel conversion and activation, coal gasification, waste destruction for power generation, propulsion, and production of hydrogen-enriched gases. IWEPAC-3 will have five consecutive sessions: (1) plasma ignition and flame control, (2) plasma assisted combustion, (3) fuel reformation and activation, (4) waste into power processing, (5) prospective plasma technologies. Several round tables will also take place.
Participants will be encouraged to demonstrate the operation of technical and engineering prototypes and commercial equipment. In the exhibition area, electrical power (including American and European standards) and fuel will be provided. One of the key expected exhibits will be a 55 kW power plant for plasma reformation of coal and bio-diesel. This is also a good opportunity to meet potential customers. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts in response to the Workshop Final Announcement and for the Proceedings, which will be made available on CD after the Workshop. Selected presentations will be recommended for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science.
Abstract deadline (up to 500 words, Times New Roman 12 font): 31 July 2007
Hotel Accommodations: from $76.50 per day
Registration fee (send checks payable to APT by 31 July 2007): $375
Final paper deadline (to be published in the IEEE-08 Transactions): 1 February 2008
