Agency Name
National Energy Technology Laboratory
Description
The Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy
Technology Laboratory (NETL)
seeks applications for the UCR Program. Since its inception in FY1979,
the
primary objective of the UCR Program has been threefold: (1) to improve
our
understanding of the chemical and physical processes involved in the
conversion
and utilization of coal in an environmentally acceptable manner; (2) to
maintain and upgrade the coal research capabilities and facilities of U.S.
colleges and universities; and (3) to support the education of students in
the
area of coal science.
To develop and sustain a national program of university research that
advances
the previous stated objectives, the DOE is interested in innovative and
fundamental research pertinent to coal conversion and utilization. This
year,
research is limited to three broad areas: 1) AREA 1 - COMPUTATIONAL ENERGY
SCIENCES: MULTIPHASE FLOW RESEARCH; 2) AREA 2 - MATERIAL SCIENCES:
COMPUTER-AIDED DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL NEW MATERIALS FOR ENERGY CONVERSION
FROM
COAL; and 3) AREA 3 - SENSORS AND CONTROLS: NANO DERIVED MATERIALS FOR THE
FORMATION OF MULTI DIMENSIONAL SENSING STRUCTURES FOR THE SELECTIVE
DETECTION
OF FOSSIL ENERGY GASES AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.
