Abstract: The effect of pressure and fuel composition on soot formation was studied using a high pressure, tubular laboratory burner with a swirl stabilized diffusion flame. A specially-designed water ...

Abstract: The combined effect of using methanol as a fuel additive together with a prototype multifuel injector has been evaluated with regard to soot formation in a tubular laboratory burner with a ...

Abstract: One class of advanced diesel engines operates with low heat rejection and high operating temperatures; piston-ring / liner lubrication is a major problem for these engines. This study attempts ...

Abstract: The microgeometry of the piston, rings, and skirt relative to the liner strongly influences lubrication in a reciprocating engine. This study develops an approximation technique that decouples ...
