1. The Performance of a Multi Cylinder HCCI Engine using Variable Compression Ratio and Fast Thermal Management
Abstract : The prime mover in the world today is the Internal Combustion (IC) engine. The development and improvement of the internal combustion engines since Nicolaus August Otto and Rudolf Diesel has continued until today and will continue long into the future. No major competitor to the IC engine has yet emerged. READ MORE

2. Silicon carbide field-effect devices studied as gas sensors for exhaust gas monitoring
Abstract : Metal-insulator-silicon carbide (MIS) structures have been studied as gas sensors. We have investigated how the sensors detect gases, how fast they do that, and how they could be used for exhaust gas monitoring.We have prepared simple field-effect devices, MIS-capacitors and Schottky diodes, on silicon carbide with platinum gates.

3. System Simulation of Partially Premixed Combustion in Heavy-Duty Engines : Gas Exchange, Fuels and In-cylinder Analysis
Abstract : The concept of partially premixed combustion (PPC), applied to conventional diesel engines, has shown to yield high gross efficiencies and low emissions of oxides of nitrogen and soot. PPC emerged from the knowledge gained from homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) research. READ MORE

4. A Two-Stroke Range Extender Engine For Heavy Duty BEV applications
Abstract : A back-up range extender (REX) is proposed to support battery electric vehicles (BEV) for heavy duty applications. A single cylinder crank case scavenged two-stroke SI-internal combustion engine (ICE) with a turbocharger system is considered powerful and small enough to be installed directly on the existing electric machine in the electric powertrain.

5. Improving the Efficiency of Gas Engines using Pre-chamber Ignition
Abstract : The aim of this project is to explore and understand the combustion phenomenon in engines operating on gaseous fuels, and develop technologies as an alternative to the present diesel engine technologies for heavy duty applications; which are facing severe challenges like stringent emissions norms, high technology costs and unsustainable fuel supply. The studies presented in this thesis focus on the application of pre-chamber ignition system in heavy duty natural gas engines, as a means to improve fuel efficiency and reduce NOx emissions.
