Meet USC
Wed, Sep 03, 2008
Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Workshops & Infosessions
This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process; a student led walking tour of campus and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process and financial aid.Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 9:00 a.m. and again at 1:00 p.m. Please visit http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/visit/meet_usc.html to check availability and make an appointment. Be sure to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!

Combustion Chemistry: Contributions From Theory
Wed, Sep 03, 2008 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Stephen J. KlippensteinChemical Sciences and Engineering DivisionArgonne National Laboratory Argonne, IL, 60439, USAA quantitative understanding of the chemistry of combustion is central to the improved performance of combustion devices. Advanced engine designs require an enhanced understanding of the ignition process. There is also continued interest in decreasing the production of pollutants such as NOx and soot particles. Chemical models of combustion employ rate coefficients for hundreds to thousands of reactions. The past 10 years have seen a major advance in the predictive capabilities of gas phase theoretical chemical kinetics. Thus, many of the rate coefficients in combustion models are now being obtained from theoretical studies. We will review our contributions to the kinetics of some key combustion reactions including studies of (i) NOx formation and removal, (ii) aromatic ring formation, (iii) fuel decomposition, and (iv) hydrocarbon oxidation. These studies will illustrate the recent progress in theoretical kinetics, while also emphasizing the synergy provided by detailed comparisons with experiment.
