WP4 – Innovative applications to investigate the possibility to successfully implement SOPRANO’s theoretical and experimental approaches in simulated operating conditions perfectly representative of those encountered in a combustor and to explore the coexistence, in a same combustor geometry, of different technological breakthroughs, each of them relevant to reduce either the fuel consumption or nitrogen oxides and soot particles emissions.

• Task 4.1: Combustor optimization for soot reduction
• Task 4.2: Innovative low emission injection systems and thermal optimization of the combustor
