Creator prompt
The idea behind this presentation
Act as a senior mechanical engineer, combustion researcher, and professional academic presentation designer.
## TASK
Create a professional, technically accurate, visually engaging PowerPoint presentation comparing and analyzing the following three research papers:
1. "On the Stability and Characteristics of Biogas/Methane/Air Flames Fired by a Double Swirl Burner"
2. "Investigating the Ignition and Stability Limits of Premixed Methane/Air Combustion in Micro-Channels"
3. "Bluff Body Assisted Combustion with Internal Preheat of Fuel-Air Mixture"
The three original research papers are attached as PDF files. Read and analyze all three PDFs before creating the presentation.
## 1. MAIN OBJECTIVE
The presentation should explain the main ideas, methodology, experimental or numerical setup, important results, physical mechanisms, and conclusions of each paper.
It should also compare the three studies and explain how their approaches differ in improving or investigating combustion stability.
The presentation must be suitable for a university-level engineering presentation delivered to professors and engineering students.
## 2. STRICT SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
- Use the three uploaded research papers as the primary and authoritative sources.
- Extract all technical information directly from the PDFs.
- Do not invent numerical values, experimental conditions, results, equations, or conclusions.
- Preserve the terminology and meaning used by the original authors.
- Clearly distinguish experimental results from numerical simulations.
- If a detail cannot be verified in the papers, omit it rather than guessing.
- Include paper-specific references for important figures, numerical results, and conclusions.
- Do not introduce unrelated background information or unsupported claims.
- Ensure that all comparisons between the papers are technically fair and based on the information actually reported.
## 3. CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: USE ORIGINAL FIGURES FROM THE PDFs
Extract and reuse relevant original figures, diagrams, plots, and images directly from the uploaded PDF files.
Do NOT replace the original scientific figures with generic AI-generated images.
Prioritize the following types of figures whenever they are available in the papers:
**Paper 1 — Double Swirl Burner**
- Schematic diagram of the double swirl burner and combustion setup.
- Burner geometry and flow configuration.
- Flame photographs or flame-structure images.
- Graphs showing the effects of CO₂ concentration and equivalence ratio.
- Plots related to flame stability, emissions, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons.
**Paper 2 — Methane/Air Combustion in Micro-Channels**
- Micro-channel geometry and computational domain.
- Mesh or numerical model diagrams, if relevant.
- Temperature distributions and flame-structure visualizations.
- Ignition and extinction patterns.
- Graphs showing ignition limits, stability limits, inlet velocity, channel diameter, and equivalence ratio.
- Figures illustrating FREI (Flames with Repetitive Extinctions and Ignitions), if available.
**Paper 3 — Bluff Body Assisted Combustion**
- Hollow bluff-body geometry and combustion chamber configuration.
- Original diagrams comparing the different bluff-body designs.
- Temperature fields, velocity fields, or recirculation-zone visualizations.
- Graphs showing lean combustion limits and blow-off velocity.
- Figures illustrating internal preheating of the fuel-air mixture.
### Figure extraction rules
1. Extract the figures from the original PDFs at the highest practical resolution.
2. Preserve the original axes, legends, units, labels, and annotations.
3. Never redraw a scientific graph in a way that changes its data.
4. Do not crop out essential legends, axis labels, units, or figure annotations.
5. Keep each figure's original caption or provide a concise, accurate caption.
6. Add the source paper and original figure number in small text beneath each figure.
7. If a figure is too complex to read, dedicate a slide to it rather than shrinking it excessively.
8. If direct extraction is unavailable, use a clear screenshot or crop of the relevant PDF page.
9. Never claim that a figure comes from a paper unless it is actually present in that PDF.
10. Use AI-generated illustrations only as supplementary conceptual visuals when necessary, never as substitutes for original scientific evidence.
## 4. PRESENTATION STRUCTURE
Create approximately 14–16 slides, with the following structure:
### Slide 1 — Title Slide
Title: "Combustion Stability and Flame Control: A Comparative Study of Three Research Papers"
Include:

End with a clean "Questions & Discussion" section.
If the material is too dense for 16 slides, prioritize clarity and scientific accuracy over strict slide count.
## 5. TECHNICAL ACCURACY AND QUANTITATIVE RESULTS
Numerical results are essential to this presentation.
For each paper:
- Identify the most important quantitative findings.
- Include relevant values, units, and operating conditions.
- Explain what each value means physically.
- Use tables or original plots where they improve understanding.
- Verify every number against the corresponding PDF before including it.
- Do not mix results obtained under different operating conditions.
- Do not compare numerical values directly if the underlying configurations or conditions are not comparable.
When discussing equations, define all variables and explain their physical meaning briefly.
## 6. VISUAL DESIGN
Use a modern, professional engineering presentation style.
Design guidelines:
- Widescreen 16:9 format.
- Clean, high-contrast layout.
- White or light backgrounds with dark text and restrained blue, charcoal, or orange accents.
- Consistent typography, spacing, headings, and figure captions.
- Large, readable fonts.
- Approximately 3–6 concise bullet points per slide.
- Use short explanatory captions rather than long paragraphs.
- Avoid excessive animations, decorative elements, and unnecessary stock photos.
- Prioritize original scientific figures, readable graphs, technical diagrams, and comparison tables.
The presentation should look like a polished engineering research presentation, not a generic business pitch.
## 7. EXPLANATION AND STORYTELLING
Organize the slides into a logical narrative:
1. Introduce the engineering problem.
2. Explain the three different research approaches.
3. Present the methodology and evidence from each paper.
4. Interpret the main results.
5. Compare the studies.
6. End with evidence-based conclusions.
Do not simply copy paragraphs from the papers. Explain the scientific meaning of the results in clear, concise academic English.
Every important graph should answer three questions:
- What is plotted?
- What is the main trend?
- Why does the trend matter?
## 8. SPEAKER NOTES
Add speaker notes to every slide.
For each slide, include:
- A clear explanation of the slide's main idea.
- What the presenter should say when explaining the figures.
- The physical interpretation of important results.
- A short transition to the next slide.
The speaker notes should be more detailed than the visible slide content, but should remain easy to present orally.
Write the slides and speaker notes in professional, accessible academic English suitable for an engineering student presenting to a university audience.
