The introduction of new light-duty vehicle emission limits to comply under real driving
conditions (RDE) is pushing the diesel engine manufacturers to identify and improve the …

In dual-fuel engines, the fuel stratification produced by direct in-cylinder blending of port
injected and direct injected fuels is important for combustion and emission control, while the …

Diesel will continue to be an indispensable energy carrier for the car fleet CO2 emission
targets in the short-term. This is particularly relevant for heavy-duty vehicles as for mid-size …

The effects of the diameter and number of nozzle holes on the combustion characteristics of
a light-duty diesel engine were investigated. 8-and 10-hole injectors with an orifice diameter …

Light duty vehicle emission standards are getting more stringent than ever before as
stipulated by US EPA Tier 2 Standards and LEV III regulations proposed by CARB. The …

A slender piezoresistive sensor that can measure the extreme 3-D surface topography of
microscale mechanical parts is described. Nondestructive quality testing of high-aspect-ratio …

As presented in the previous study [1], a 2.4 L ULPC (Ultra Low PM Combustion) diesel
engine was achieved through optimal matching with piston bowl geometry and nozzle spray …

This work explores the effectiveness of common rail fuel injectors equipped with Grouped
Hole Nozzles (GHNs) in aiding the mixing process and reducing particulate matter (PM) …

In the last decade diesel combustion has developed in a new direction. Research has been
carried out trying to prolong the ignition delay and enhance fuel/air premixing to avoid …

This paper investigated the influence of the injector nozzle geometry on fuel consumption
and exhaust emission characteristics of a light-duty diesel engine with 250 MPa injection …
