This paper reviews the state of the art of directly driven proportional directional hydraulic
spool valves, which are widely used hydraulic components in the industrial and …

GaN-based high-power wide-bandgap semiconductor electronics and photonics have been
considered as promising candidates to replace conventional devices for automotive …

A novel implementation for the skeletal reduction of large detailed reaction mechanisms
using the directed relation graph with error propagation and sensitivity analysis (DRGEPSA) …

In this work, a methodology for the tabulation of combustion mechanisms via Artificial Neural
Networks (ANNs) is presented. The objective of the methodology is to train the ANN using …

This work proposes a kinetic model and an inception pathway for the flame synthesis of
silica nanoparticles from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The kinetic model for the decomposition …

In a preliminary part, reduced chemical schemes from the literature on methane/air turbulent
combustion are tested in one-dimensional premixed flames at various equivalence ratios. As …

Emission of nitrogen oxides (NO x) is a major challenge for combustion of solid fuels.
Strategies for emission control can be developed from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …

Combustion simulations are the key aspect for full-scale 3D simulations of modern and
perspective engines for aerospace propulsion. The present work studies an opportunity to …

A new skeletal mechanism, consisting of 16 species and 72 reactions, has been developed
for lean methane–air premixed combustion from the GRI-Mech 3.0. The skeletal mechanism …

Premixed fuel–air flame propagation is investigated in a single-cylinder, spark-ignited, four-
stroke optical test engine using high-speed imaging. Circles and ellipses are fitted onto …
