21. On the role of Alkaline Earth Metal Oxides in Environmental Catalysis
Sammanfattning : In heterogeneous catalysis, metal oxides have various roles: as catalysts, as support material for catalytically active metal particles, as promoters, as stabilizers, or as storage materials. Although their main application is as support material, their role as promoter or storage material becomes increasingly important as emission legislations are becoming more stringent. LÄS MER
22. Variable Valve Actuation in a Spark Ignition Engine - A Flow Field and Heat Release Study
Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis was to find ways of improving part-load efficiency for a spark ignition engine by studying the effects of variable-valve actuation on fluid flow and combustion. The in-cylinder flow was measured with laser doppler velocimetry, LDV, and particle image velocimetry, PIV. LÄS MER
23. Application of Laser-based Diagnostics to a Prototype Gas Turbine Burner at Selected Pressures
Sammanfattning : The matured laser-diagnostic techniques of planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) were applied to a prototype gas turbine burner operating on various fuels. The work was performed to provide verification of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models of the combustion of atypical fuels in a gas turbine combustor. LÄS MER
24. Diluted Operation of a Heavy-Duty Natural-gas Engine
Sammanfattning : Fuel economy and emissions are the two central parameters in heavy duty engines; most of the existing heavy duty engines are run with diesel. The overall efficiency of diesel engines is good however they suffer from high levels of emissions mainly NOX and soot. LÄS MER
25. Direct numerical simulation of turbulent premixed flames at high Karlovitz numbers: structure and modelling
Sammanfattning : There has been recent increased interest in premixed flames and in particular for use in gas turbines for power generation. This is a development that follows from increasing demands for high efficiency and low emissions of NOx, which can be achieved by using premixed flames and lean pre-heated mixtures, often close to the lean flammability limit.
