Combustion is one of the most dominant energy conversion processes used in all areas of
human life, but global concerns over exhaust gas pollution and greenhouse gas emission …

The stringent emission norms, increasing demands for higher efficient and reliable engine
operation and rapid depletion of petroleum resources, motivated researchers to explore on …

An experimental study was conducted to compare laser ignition (LI) and spark discharge
ignition (SDI) in an ethylene fueled supersonic combustor operating at a global equivalence …

The present work focuses on the early stages of flame-kernel development in laser-induced
spark ignited mixtures issuing out of a Bunsen burner. The time-scale of 3 µs to 1 ms …

Laser sparks that were built with high-peak power passively Q-switched Nd: YAG/Cr^ 4+:
YAG lasers have been used to operate a Renault automobile engine. The design of such a …

Laser sources which generate high peak-pulse energy, picosecond pulse duration outputs
at high repetition rates are of particular interest for applications including laser ignition and …

The ignition processes of single-point laser ignition (LI) and dual-point LI were
experimentally investigated in a cavity-based Mach 2.52 scramjet combustor fueled with …

Usage of the laser ignition system can potentially solve most of the combustion issues, for
instance, low flame velocity, imperfect combustion, and improve the lean-burn limit. In the …

Acoustic shock waves (ASWs) in the frequency range of 30–120 kHz generated during laser-
induced breakdown (LIB) of ambient air using 7 ns and 30 ps pulse durations are studied …

The ignition characteristics of an ethylene-fueled scramjet combustor with a cavity flame
holder were experimentally investigated in a Mach 2.92 inflow using laser ablation (LA) and …
