Evaluation of E10 and NH3 co-fuelling in a modern spark ignition engine (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ambalakatte, A., Geng, S., Cairns, A., La Rocca, A., Harrington, A., Hall, J., & Bassett, M. (2023, November). Evaluation of E10 and NH3 co-fuelling in a modern spark ignition engine. Presented at International Conference on Powertrain Systems for a Sustainable Future 2023, London

Ammonia (NH3) is emerging as a potential favoured fuel for longer range decarbonised heavy transport, particularly in the marine sector, predominantly due to highly favourable characteristics as an effective hydrogen carrier. This is despite generall... Read More about Evaluation of E10 and NH3 co-fuelling in a modern spark ignition engine.

Design of Hairpin Winding and Random Winding Stators for High Speed Heavy-Duty Traction Motor (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jiang, J., Zou, T., La Rocca, A., La Rocca, S., Liu, C., Xu, Z., Gerada, C., Zhu, S., Paciura, K., & Gerada, D. (2023, October). Design of Hairpin Winding and Random Winding Stators for High Speed Heavy-Duty Traction Motor. Presented at 2023 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC), Milan, Italy

Hairpin winding with rectangularly shaped conductors are gradually replacing random winding wound with stranded wires in electric vehicle (EV) industry. As the newgeneration winding technology, hairpin winding features high electromagnetic and therma...

Investigation of Exhaust Particles on Different TEM Grids: a Comparison between Graphene Oxide and Silicon Nitride Grids (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lagana, S., Akifjevs, R., Rocca, A. L., Cairns, A., Fay, M. W., & Webb, K. F. (2023, August). Investigation of Exhaust Particles on Different TEM Grids: a Comparison between Graphene Oxide and Silicon Nitride Grids. Presented at 2023 JSAE/SAE Powertrains, Energy and Lubricants International Meeting, Kyoto, Japan

Two different TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) grids - graphene oxide (GO) and silicon nitride (SiN) - were used to capture the particulates emitted with the exhaust of a modern 1.0 L GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engine. One speed-load condi... Read More about Investigation of Exhaust Particles on Different TEM Grids: a Comparison between Graphene Oxide and Silicon Nitride Grids.

2D and 3D TEM Characterisation of Benzene and Ethylene Soot (2023)
Journal Article
Lagana, S., La Rocca, A., Cairns, A., Fay, M. W., Apicella, B., Ciajolo, A., & Russo, C. (2023). 2D and 3D TEM Characterisation of Benzene and Ethylene Soot. Fuels, 4(2), 174-185. https://doi.org/10.3390/fuels4020011

Flame-generated soot particles from two different fuels, benzene (B) and ethylene (E), at different ageing conditions, were analysed to assess their morphological and structural features. Samples were collected at 6, 10 and 14 mm from the nozzle loca... Read More about 2D and 3D TEM Characterisation of Benzene and Ethylene Soot.
