1. Experimental Studies of Advanced Ignition Systems for Lean Burn Natural Gas Engines
Abstract : One of the greatest challenges for the transport sector today is reducing its environmental impact. This applies especially to the emission aspects, much due to increasingly stringent emissions legislations. READ MORE

2. 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.

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. Spark Ignition Combustion of Direct Injected Alternative Fuels
Abstract : Several technologies and modifications exist to increase the fuel efficiency of passenger vehicles in general and spark ignition engines in particular. Combining a spark ignition engine with an electric drive system in hybrid powertrain and thermodynamic cycle improvements are two such approaches with the potential to greatly reduce fuel consumption.

5. A Study of Catalytic Ignition and Kinetic Phase Transitions
Abstract : Catalytic ignition and kinetic phase transitions are two critical phenomena which can occur in heterogeneously catalyzed reaction systems. They have in common that the system behavior changes qualitatively when a control parame-ter passes through a critical value. READ MORE
