The infrared measurement technique at the LPP test rig of the DLR Cologne (Giuliani et al., ECM 2007)
Infrared absorption is specific to alcanes. Thus, with a specific apparatus, one can determine the effectiveness of combined fuel atomisation and vaporisation. In a word, one can cartography the fuel placement.

Heat fluctuation measurements in a flame using a lightweight laser method (journal publication)
Monitoring combustion stability with an interferometric method was validated by a team composed of CBOne members, TU Graz staff and of CNRS researchers.
The results are published in the journal "Combustion and Flame".

Alternative fuels for aviation are clean (conference talk)
Not only replacement fuels for aviation are compatible with low emission combustors: it is recommended to use these together.
This statement is the synthesis of a literature review combined to the results of the European project called Alfa-Bird. This task was conducted by Jaana Rajamäki from CBOne. Alfa-Bird (2008-2010) was dedicated to alternative fuels for aviation. This study closures our participation to this great project, and our results will be presented at the International Symposium on Air Breathing Engines in South-Korea, September 2013.

Successful Maiden Fire for the First Full AM-Burner Designed by CBOne!
Ok - the title for this article was temporarily changed to "* * Ô la Belle Bleue !!! " because of some footballistic interference during the summer 2018. Shortly said: Bravo les Bleus, Merci pour cette deuxième étoile! That was it, back to combustion now!
The first full 3D printed burner designed by CBOne was tested with success.
This validates our capacity to design a complete burner fit for operation under gas turbine conditions (natural gas-fired, premixed lean combustion, two-stage with a low swirl pilot embedded in a high swirl main), with additional features versus conventional such as a monolithic form, low finishing requirements, advanced thermal management, integrated ignition and prepared instrumentation ports for an advanced monitoring.
