Improving fundamental understanding of disruptive fuel, combustion and emissions after-treatment solutions
The focus of this theme includes fundamental experimental and computational work to quantify:
- key physical and chemical interactions between promising fuel combinations
- fuel storage sub-systems
- fuel preparation methods
- fuel and oil additives
- disruptive combustion and emissions after-treatment modes.
The goal is to improve understanding that can ultimately lead to new green ammonia engines operating with fully decarbonised fuels, high thermal efficiency and minimised pollutant emissions.
The work will lead to new sub-system computational models of high academic impact, being used to understand phenomena which cannot be directly measured. It will also generate significant industrial impact, enabling outcomes to be adopted in future commercial codes to help accelerate sustainable products to market.
