Diesel engine manufacturers strive towards further efficiency improvements. Thus, reducing
in-cylinder heat losses is becoming increasingly important. Understanding how location …

As a demonstration of a new method to examine the extremely unsteady and spatially
varying wall heat transfer phenomena on diesel engine combustion chamber wall, high …

A modified form of the sequential function specification method (SFSM) is developed with
specific consideration given to multiple time scales in an effort to avoid overregularization of …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) applied to in-cylinder surfaces of a low temperature
combustion (LTC) engine provide an opportunity for enhanced efficiency via two …

The efficiency of internal combustion engines is limited by heat losses to the wall of the
combustion chamber. A precise characterization of wall heat flux is therefore needed to …

Internal combustion engines are characterized by high pressure and thermal loads on
pistons and in cylinders. The heat generated by the combustion process is dissipated by …

Pressure swirl injectors generate conical hollow sprays with a liquid film adjacent to the exit
nozzle. This paper describes macroscopic and microscopic parameters of sprays and …

The effects of water injection (WI) on combustion characteristics were investigated in an
optically accessible light-duty engine retrofitted with a side-mounted water injector. The main …

Pour réduire significativement les émissions de CO2 dans les moteurs à combustion interne,
un levier majeur est la réduction des pertes thermiques pariétales lors de la combustion …

Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurde mittels bildgebender Lasermesstechnik die
Interaktion von Strömung, Flamme und Wärmeübergang in einem optisch zugänglichen …
