Waste heat recovery from passenger car internal combustion engines by means of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system is promising for reducing CO2 emissions. In this study, different cycle configurations capable of converting waste heat from both coolant a ...
The internal combustion engines are the most applied energy converters in the passenger cars. In order to increase their efficiency, energy integration techniques are used to recover the waste heat. An adapted methodology is required to design the ORC as a ...
This paper investigates the waste heat recovery potential of internal combustion engines, using organic Rankine cycles running on small-scale radial turbomachinery. ORC are promising candidates for low-grade thermal sources and the use of dynamic expanders ...
Generating large force/displacement actuators at the millimeter and sub-millimeter scales remains an important challenge for microsystems engineers. One promising solution is to integrate high-energy density solid propellant fuels in microsystems (pyroMEMS ...
The ignition delay times of CH4/C2H6/C3H8 mixtures representative of an average natural gas composition have been measured in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at the University of Lille. The pressure at the end of compression (EOC) varied from 13 to 21 ba ...
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), combined with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)—both single and tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA)—have been used to investigate particles emitted by two modern 2-stroke scooters with different mix ...
