2. 1. Lagrangian CFD Modeling of Impinging Diesel Sprays for DI HCCI

   Author : Per Strålin; Hans-Erik Ångström; Christian Kreuger; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HCCI; Diesel; early direct-injection; impinging nozzle; CFD; Lagrangian modeling; collision models; O’Rourke; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : The homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) concept has been acknowledged as a potential combustion concept for engines, due to low NOx and soot emissions and high efficiency, especially at part-load. Early direct-injection (DI) during the compression stroke is an option when Diesel fuel is used in HCCI. READ MORE

4. 2. Development of ring-opening catalysts for diesel quality improvement

   Author : Ulf Nylén; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ring opening; naphthenes; cetane number improvement; indan; light cycle oil LCO ; Pt-Ir catalyst; catalyst characterization; aromatic sulphur compounds; GC-SCD; distribution; analysis;

   Abstract : The global oil refining industry with its present shift inproduct distribution towards fuels such as gasoline and dieselwill most likely hold the fort for many years to come. However,times will change and survival will very much depend onprocessing flexibility and being at the frontiers of refiningtechnology, a technology where catalysts play leading roles. READ MORE

5. 3. Hydrogen Generation for Fuel Cells in Auxiliary Power Systems

   Author : Marita Nilsson; Lars J. Pettersson; Gunther Kolb; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; autothermal reforming; auxiliary power unit; diesel; dimethyl ether; fuel cell; fuel-flexible reformer; hydrogen; PdZn alloy; reforming catalyst; reformer design; Rh; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Heavy-duty trucks are in idle operation during long periods of time, providing the vehicles with electricity via the alternator at standstill. Idling trucks contribute to large amounts of emissions and high fuel consumption as a result of the low efficiency from fuel to electricity. READ MORE

6. 4. Studies on Diesel sprays under non-reacting and reacting conditions

   Author : Chengjun Du; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; diffusion flame; OH radical; ethanol; spray vaporization; soot formation; cavitation; turbulent; OH* chemiluminescence; laser extinction; LAS; Diesel sprays;

   Abstract : Methods for reducing engine-out emissions are urgently needed to mitigate climate change and air pollution. In diesel engines, the quality of fuel-air mixing and the subsequent combustion process strongly affect fuel efficiency and engine-out emissions. READ MORE

7. 5. Impact of Fuel Properties on Partially Premixed Combustion

   Author : Hadeel Solaka; Förbränningsmotorer; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PPC; Reference Fuels; Gasline; Diesel; Ignition Delay; Quadratic Regression Model;

   Abstract : Compression ignited engines generally have higher efficiency than spark ignition engines. However, the most common combustion concept in compression ignited engines, conventional diesel combustion, struggles with high levels of particulate matter and NOx emissions. READ MORE
