Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), combined with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)—both single and tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA)—have been used to investigate particles emitted by two modern 2-stroke scooters with different mix ...
A review of the state of the art gas turbine power plants designs with CO2 capture was performed to set up a list of technologies to be considered in a conceptual process superstructure. It has been found that the efficiency and economics of carbon dioxide ...
This work is part of ongoing research on stationary natural gas engines equipped with unscavanged prechambers. Spark ignition inside the prechamber has been successfully proven with natural gas as well as biogas, reducing emissions while keeping good effic ...
A pyroMEMS igniter with increased combustion reliability is presented. The igniter consisted of a thin-film platinum Joule heater fabricated on a borosilicate glass substrate. Two different igniter layouts (meandering and annular) and three different binde ...
This paper investigates the waste heat recovery potential of internal combustion engines, using organic Rankine cycles running on small-scale radial turbomachinery. ORC are promising candidates for low-grade thermal sources and the use of dynamic expanders ...
This work is focused on the numerical analysis of pollutant formation in an aviation gas turbine engine at different values of power setting. The analysis is conducted on the basis of a comprehensive approach treating the reactor net model for description ...
Today's vehicle must be efficient in terms of gas (CO2, NOx) emissions and fuel consumption. Due to improvements in material and oil, the continuous variable transmission (CVT) is now making a breakthrough in the automotive market. The CVT decouples the en ...
A novel ignition concept based on autoignition in an unscavanged prechamber is currently being developed at the Laboratory for Industrial Energy Systems (LENI). On a single cylinder test engine a series of experimental runs (CR=8.5-14, =1-1.6, RPM=1150/150 ...
Reduction of the specific fuel consumption of gas turbines can be achieved by maximizing the turbine inlet temperature. However, this requires a detailed understanding of the cooling performance in order to ensure safe and economical operation of the engin ...
