The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

Generally, the homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine presents superior
fuel economy and ultra-low NOx and particle matter emissions compared with the traditional …

Due to intensive marine activities and the use of low-quality fuel oils, the marine transport
accounts for a considerable part of air pollution in the transportation sector. Although ships …

Universal concerns about degradation in ambient environment, stringent emission
legislations, depletion of petroleum reserves, security of fuel supply and global warming …

Based on recent research within optically accessible engines and combustion chambers,
conceptual models for low-temperature combustion (LTC) diesel engines are proposed. To …

Sustainably produced biofuels, especially when they are derived from lignocellulosic
biomass, are being discussed intensively for future ground transportation. Traditionally …

The high energy density of hydrocarbon fuels creates a great opportunity to develop
combustion based micro-power generation systems to meet increasing demands for …

This paper presents a review of system design and analysis, control strategy, optimization
and heat and mass integration of integrated solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and reciprocating …

HCCI combustion has been drawing the considerable attention due to high efficiency and
lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions. However, there are still …

This book has evolved from a lecture series (of J. Wa.) on combustion at stuttgart University.
The lectures were intended to provide firstayear graduate students (and advanced …
