chemistry of hydrocarbons. Experimental studies in shock tubes, rapid compression …

A temperature sensor based on the intrapulse absorption spectroscopy technique has been
developed to measure in situ temperature time-histories in a rapid compression machine …

The micro-explosion of slurries and emulsions droplets under heating contribute to a
significant increase in efficiency of a large group of promising technologies, in particular, in …

Tracer based planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) has emerged as a powerful in-situ
measurement technique with a considerable spatial and temporal resolution for Internal …

Rapid compression machines (RCMs) have often been used to study auto-ignition
phenomena and to validate chemical kinetic models at conditions relevant to engines. Many …

In direct-injection engines, fuel components of different volatility can segregate in the
transient evaporating spray. The resulting spatial mixture inhomogeneities may impact …

The reduction of pollutant emissions from internal combustion engines, and in particular
greenhouse gases, must be achieved by optimizing the combustion process and choosing …

Two optical techniques were developed and combined with a CFD simulation to obtain
spatio-temporally resolved information on air/fuel mixing in the cylinder of a methane-fueled …

Near-wall turbulent boundary-layer has a substantial impact on the wall heat transfer
process in internal combustion engines, and ultimately affects the engine performance …

The interaction of recirculated NO X with two-stage fuels in the early combustion process is
not fully understood, especially at lower temperatures. Recently developed kinetic …
