  • Chemometrics-based Approach for Predicting Low Temperature Combustion Engine Fuel Performance

    Creator:
    Daly, Shane
    Abstract:
    Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions over traditional gasoline spark-ignited and diesel compression-ignition engines. The ability to produce fuels optimized for LTC engines could help increase efficiency and therefore improve fuel economy, insomuch that Federal fuel economy standards could be met. Currently, a fuel performance...

  • Fluidized Bed Reactor Engines

    Creator:
    Lavrich, Zoe A.
    Abstract:
    Repurposing internal combustion engines as petrochemical reactors (i.e., Reactor engines) could offer a smaller, scalable alternative to traditional full scale chemical processing facilities. For many chemical processes, incorporating catalyst particles in fluidized beds is expected to result in superior performance over both monoliths and packed beds. Conversion of ethane into...

  • Rational Fuel Design for Low Temperature Internal Combustion Engines

    Creator:
    Daly, Shane R.
    Abstract:
    This work introduces a new methodology to design transportation fuels offering improved efficiency and reduced emissions, aimed to complement both traditional and emerging engine technologies. Many of these emerging technologies are centered around exploiting low temperature combustion (LTC) strategies that offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions. However, a standardized fuel...
