1. Homogeneous Lean Combustion in Downsized Spark-Ignited Engines
Abstract : Emissions of greenhouse-gasses and noxious compounds from internal combustion engines propelling personal transportation vehicles is an imminent issue in the society. Therefore, it is vital to find means of reducing these emissions to decrease the impacts of transportation. READ MORE

2. 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

3. Impacts of alternative combustion diluents and hydrogen addition on a swirl-stabilized flame related to gas turbine application
Abstract : The global energy tendency leads to increasing attention on clean combustion technologies in order to eliminate adverse impacts on the environment. The utilization of oxyfuel combustion (CO2 acts as the only combustion dilution), flame diluents, and hydrogen fuel in gas turbine combustion provides a promising solution to reduce combustion pollutant emissions.

4. Productivity Improvements in Construction Transport Operation through Lean Thinking and Systems of Systems
Abstract : The purpose of a quarry is to extract rock material to deliver gravel and raw material to its customers. The products can be further processed to e.g., extract minerals such as iron or to produce cement and asphalt. READ MORE

5. Catalysis for Lean NOx Reduction - Aspects of Catalyst Synthesis and Surface Acidity
Abstract : From both economic and environmental perspectives it is desirable to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. One route to increase the fuel efficiency for vehicles is operation in oxygen excess. However, a major problem with this technique is the lean environment, which obstructs catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to harmless nitrogen. READ MORE
