1. Experimental Investigations on Natural Gas-Diesel Dual Fuel Combustion
Abstract : Natural gas has been traditionally applied in spark-ignited combustion engines due to similar combustion characteristics for methane gas and gasoline. However, spark ignition requires a low compression ratio to avoid knock problems and therefore, gas engines have lower efficiency than diesel engines. READ MORE

2. Advancing the Limits of Dual Fuel Combustion
Abstract : There is a growing interest in alternative transport fuels. There are two underlying reasons for this interest; the desire to decrease the environmental impact of transports and the need to compensate for the declining availability of petroleum. In the light of both these factors the Diesel Dual Fuel, DDF, engine is an attractive concept. READ MORE

3. Advancing the understanding of pilot ignition in dual fuel engines : Experimental and conceptual studies
Abstract : The energy transition is looking for new technologies to reduce CO2 emissions. One of the promising options is the dual fuel engine. In this concept, based on a diesel engine, a small pilot diesel injection is used to ignite a second fuel. READ MORE

4. Dual-Fuel Combustion in a Heavy-Duty Engine
Abstract : The need to control climate change and improve the fuel effieciency of internal combustion engines has prompted global efforts to develop alternative fuels in order to reduce dependence on conventional petroleum derivatives. This thesis deals with three such alternative fuels: compressed natural gas (CNG), pure methane (used to mimic biogas), and methanol. READ MORE

5. On Combustion in the CNG-Diesel Dual Fuel Engine
Abstract : Currently there is a large interest in alternative transport fuels. There are two underlying reasons for this interest: the desire to decrease the environmental impact of transports and the need to compensate for the declining availability of petroleum. In the light of both these factors, the CNG-diesel dual fuelengine is an attractive concept. READ MORE
