The use of low-carbon and zero-carbon alternative fuels on marine engine is the main
measure to achieve carbon neutrality for shipping sector, thus attracting numerous research …

Modelling of vehicle fuel consumption and emissions has emerged as an effective tool to
help develop and assess vehicle technologies and to help predict vehicle fuel consumption …

Combustion diagnosis based on in-cylinder pressure signals as well as 0D thermodynamic
modelling, are widely used to study and optimize the combustion in reciprocating engines …

Using the geometric compression ratio, calculated without considering crevices, usually
ensures good accuracy when performing heat release analysis and other evaluations based …

Diagnosis of combustion is necessary for the estimation of the combustion quality, and
control of combustion timing in advanced combustion concepts like HCCI. Combustion …

This paper presents a thermal network model for the simulation of the transient response of
diesel engines. The model was adjusted by using experimental data from a completely …

The effective compression ratio of spark ignition engines is influenced by several factors,
and can feature a relatively wide range even for production power units. This is given mainly …

Modulation of the effective compression ratio, a measure of the amount of compression of in-
cylinder gases above intake manifold conditions, is a key enabler of advanced combustion …

Cylinder pressure is one of the most important parameters characterizing the combustion
process in an internal combustion engine. The recent developments in engine control …

The work presented in this thesis is motivated by the need to reliably operate a compression-
ignition engine in a partially premixed combustion (PPC) mode. Partially premixed …
