Performance evaluation of diesel engines (PEDE) for a diesel-biodiesel fueled CI engine using nano-particles additive
yy Today's researchers have made concerted efforts to benefit from biodiesel and to achieve better combustion due to its higher cetane number in comparison to that of diesel. The major drawback of utilizing biodiesel-diesel blend is the corresponding incre ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2019Detailed modeling of the dynamic behavior of petroleum in the sea during the Deepwater Horizon accident
Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros
Field observations indicate that during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident, approximately one quarter of the released petroleum mass became entrapped below the sea surface, but the sequestration mechanisms remain unexplained. A multiphase buoyant plume mo ...
2016PyroMEMS: Improved Fabrication Methods and Ignition Reliability
Generating large force/displacement actuators at the millimeter and sub-millimeter scales remains an important challenge for microsystems engineers. One promising solution is to integrate high-energy density solid propellant fuels in microsystems (pyroMEMS ...
EPFL2012Formulation reproducing the ignition delays simulated by a detailed mechanism: Application to n-heptane combustion
This article is part of the project to model the kinetics of high-temperature combustions, occurring behind shock waves and in detonation waves. The "conventional" semi-empirical correlations of ignition delays have been reformulated, by keeping the Arrhen ...
2008Kintetic modelling of natural gas auto-ignition under engine-like conditions
Daniel Favrat, Jan-Bernhard Vos, Stefan Heyne
The modelling of natural gas combustion with detailed as well as reduced kinetic mechanisms has been subject to many publications already. Most of the mechanisms are validated at higher temperatures and ambient pressures. Only recently - in parallel to a g ...
2006Interface-solvent effects during colloidal phase transitions
We have compared calorimetric measurements with the nonlinear optical technique vibrational sum frequency scattering to investigate interface-solvent effects in colloidal gelation transitions. This allows us to explain the difference in gelation behaviour ...
