This work evaluates the potential of some new biomass-derived fuels as candidates for
compression ignition operation. Thus, fundamental spray characteristics related to fuel …

The use of fuels made from renewable resources can be beneficial in reducing the CO 2
emission balance of the existing vehicle fleet. These fuels should be drop-in-capable, ie …

Rising engine efficiency, increasingly stringent exhaust limits, and the use of synthetic and
renewable fuels are all factors that demand a deeper knowledge of the combustion process …

Optically accessible engines are an essential tool to investigate the combustion process in
internal combustion engines via optical and laser optical methods. These methods can be …

The following work presents a new concept for optical accessibility of a single-cylinder
medium-speed large-bore marine engine from the concept development to the …

A low level of pollutant emissions was reached because of stepwise tightened emission
legislation, while it was possible to keep or to improve further the efficiency of the drive train …

Due to the Horizon 2020 program with one focus at the increasing challenge of future
transportation the Hercules 2 project deals with the improvement of maritime propulsion …
