Andrew Chiodo is currently performing research and analysis on combustion, thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics for large-scale industrial systems of reacting and non-reacting turbulent flows. The emphasis of his work is on applying computational fluid dynamic simulation software to assess the performance of coal-fired, gas-fired, and oil-fired boilers. These analyses include examinations of Mercury and NOx reduction strategies in utility boilers. Research interests also include the chemical mechanisms and chemical kinetics of reacting flows, especially those associated with NOx reducing agents. Previous research included size segregation studies concerning polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with the goal of developing advanced methods for the measurement of the size distribution and composition of particulate matter (PM) emitted from mobile and stationary sources.
