Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sen, S., Talebizadehsardari, P., La Rocca, A., Cairns, A., Pacino, A., & Mehdipour, R. (2024, November). Effect of Different Module Arrangements for Thermal Management of Cylindrical Li-ion Battery Packs. Presented at 50th IECON: Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, Chicago, USA

This study aims to analyze the effect of module arrangement in a lithium-ion battery pack using partial immersion cooling. The pack consists of sixteen modules with 192 cylindrical batteries in each module. The partial immersion method is used to red...

Comparing physical and chemical properties of soot from laboratory tests and heavy-duty engines used in field operations (2024)
Journal Article
Pacino, A., La Rocca, A., Smith, J., Berryman, J., Fowell, M., Cairns, A., & Fay, M. W. (2024). Comparing physical and chemical properties of soot from laboratory tests and heavy-duty engines used in field operations. SAE International Journal of Fuels and Lubricants, 18(1), Article 04-18-01-0002. https://doi.org/10.4271/04-18-01-0002

Morphology, nanostructure, and composition of soot extracted from the oil sump of different heavy-duty engines operated under dynamometer and field conditions were investigated. Soot characteristics were then compared to a carbon black sample. Soot w...

Correlating wear with the lubricant properties of heavy-duty diesel engine oils (2024)
Journal Article
Kirkby, T., Pacino, A., Smith, J. J., Fowell, M., Berryman, J., Frennfelt, C., La Rocca, A., & Reddyhoff, T. (2024). Correlating wear with the lubricant properties of heavy-duty diesel engine oils. Tribology International, 199, Article 110018. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2024.110018

Wear volumes were correlated with the lubricant properties of 11 used, heavy duty engine oil samples. The most important oil property in predicting wear volume is Total Acid Number, TAN. Here, the TAN value may be indicating ZDDP in its oxidised form... Read More about Correlating wear with the lubricant properties of heavy-duty diesel engine oils.
