Thesis (B/M): Experimental investigation of oxyfuel combustion

In our Clean Combustion and Process Heat department, we deal with low-emission combustion processes and process heat. One of our key topics is oxyfuel combustion, in which pure oxygen is used as the O2 source instead of normal ambient air, enabling efficient CO2 capture from flue gases.
