Ignition and Combustion Behavior in Solid Propellant Microsystems Using Joule-Effect Igniters

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Volker Gass, David de Koninck

A study of solid propellant ignition and combustion of potassium dinitrobenzofuroxanate in Joule-heating pyrotechnical microelectromechanical systems igniters is carried out using a high-speed framing camera. The effect of igniter geometry, propellant form ...

Facilitating skilled right hand motor function in older subjects by anodal polarization over the left primary motor cortex

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Healthy ageing is accompanied by limitations in performance of activities of daily living and personal independence. Recent reports demonstrated improvements in motor function induced by noninvasive anodal direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary m ...

Experimental investigation of prechamber autoignition in a natural gas engine for cogeneration

Daniel Favrat, Stefan Heyne, Michael Meier

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 ...

Controlled Auto-Ignition (CAI) in Engine Combustion Prechamber

Daniel Favrat

Unscavenged prechamber ignition has recently been developed at LENI-EPFL to reduce the emissions from cogeneration spark ignition gas engines (natural gas and biogas) within the Swiss Motor project supported by the Federal Office of Energy. Prechambers fit ...

Comparison between direct and indirect (prechamber) spark ignition in the case of a cogeneration natural gas engine, part II : engine operating parameters and turbocharger characteristics

Daniel Favrat, Roger Röthlisberger

In a first paper (part I), prechamber ignition in cogeneration natural gas engines has been shown to significantly intensify and accelerate the combustion process, offering a further potential to reduce the exhaust gas emissions while keeping efficiency at ...

Unscavenged Combustion Prechamber as a way to Improve Efficiency and Emissions of a Lean-Burn Cogeneration Biogas Engine: Comparison with Natural Gas

Daniel Favrat, Roger Röthlisberger

Gaseous fuels produced, for example, by waste or agricultural by-products fermentation (biogas) can be burned in-situ by cogeneration systems like spark-ignition internal combustion engines. However, the more and more stringent legislation for exhaust gas ...
