1. DME and the Heavy Duty Diesel Engine
Abstract : Increasing awareness of adverse anthropogenic environmental effects, such as the effectsof combusting fossil fuels on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, and thatcombustion-related emissions from the transportation sector are going to approachsustainable levels in the near future has led to increased interest in fuels from renewablesources. These fuels offer possibilities to diversify the feedstocks that can be used forfuel production, as well as to reduce fossil carbon dioxide emissions, thereby reducingour dependence on a very limited range of sources.

2. DME Combustion in Heavy Duty Diesel Engines
Abstract : Interest in alternative energy and fuels has grown considerably in recent years due to increasing concern about the adverse effects of global warming, the limited sources of non-renewable feedstocks, the insecurity of their supply and associated fluctuations in their prices. However, although there is an urgent, and widely recognized, need to address these issues, selecting suitable candidate feedstocks and fuels is far from straightforward, since numerous factors must be considered when selecting promising candidates for further evaluation and, ultimately, commercial use.

3. Renewable Energy in Energy-Efficient, Low-Pollution Systems
Abstract : Energy use accounts for the dominating fraction of total sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In this thesis, different strategies for reducing these emissions are evaluated, using a bottom-up approach. The thesis is divided in two parts. READ MORE

4. RhPt and Ni based catalysts for fuel reforming in energy conversion
Abstract : Although current trends in global warming are of great concern, energy demand is still increasing, resulting in increasing pollutant emissions. To address this issue, we need reliable renewable energy sources, lowered pollutant emissions, and efficient and profitable processes for energy conversion. READ MORE

5. Optical and laser diagnostics : The versatility of Imaging
Abstract : Optical and laser diagnostics is a field where optical techniques are developed that offer remote, non-intrusive measurements in order to characterise a system. Imaging is a big part of this field and the versatility it offers makes it a great tool in the hands of researchers and in practical applications. READ MORE
