Diesel engine performance and emissions are strongly coupled with fuel atomization and
spray processes, which in turn are strongly influenced by injector flow dynamics. Modern …

Cavitation and turbulence inside a diesel injector play a critical role in primary spray breakup
and development processes. The study of cavitation in realistic injectors is challenging, …

Injector flow dynamics and primary breakup processes are known to play a pivotal role in
determining combustion and emissions in diesel engines. In the present study, we examine the …

Syngas is produced through a gasification process using variety of fossil fuels, including
coal, biomass, organic waste, and refinery residual. Although, its composition may vary …

SPRAY vaporization and combustion studies are of primary importance in predicting and
improving the performance of systems utilizing spray injection. Combustors, fire suppression, …

The requirement to significantly reduce NOx and particulate emissions while maintaining
combustor performance is one of the main drivers for internal combustion engine research. …

An improved technique for precise and accurate determination of boron isotopic composition
in Na-rich natural waters (groundwater, seawater) and marine biogenic carbonates was …

Laser-induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS) has been successfully developed to quantify
thorium (Th) and uranium (U) in solution using membrane-based filter paper as a sample …
