Measurement of Sub-23 nm Particulate Emissions from GDI Engines: A Comparison of Processing Methods (2021)
Journal Article
Pfau, S. A., Haffner-Staton, E., & La Rocca, A. (2021). Measurement of Sub-23 nm Particulate Emissions from GDI Engines: A Comparison of Processing Methods. SAE Technical Papers, Article 2021-01-0626. https://doi.org/10.4271/2021-01-0626

Engine research has increasingly focused on emission of sub 23 nm particulates in recent years. Likewise, current legislative efforts are being made for particulate number (PN) emission limits to include this previously omitted size range. In Europe,...

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Copper leaching in diesel fuel and its impact on combustion and emission characteristics of a Direct Injection High Pressure Common Rail (DI HPCR) diesel engine was investigated. This work was performed using a single cylinder Ric... Read More about Investigating the impact of copper leaching on combustion characteristics and particulate emissions in HPCR diesel engines.

Assessing the Accuracy of Soot Nanoparticle Morphology Measurements Using Three-Dimensional Electron Tomography (2019)
Journal Article
Haffner-Staton, E., La Rocca, A., Cairns, A., McGhee, M., & Fay, M. (2019). Assessing the Accuracy of Soot Nanoparticle Morphology Measurements Using Three-Dimensional Electron Tomography. SAE Technical Papers, 2019-April, Article 2019-01-1188. https://doi.org/10.4271/2019-01-1188

Morphology plays an important role in determining behaviour and impact of soot nanoparticles, including effect on human health, atmospheric optical properties, contribution to engine wear, and role in marine ecology. However, its nanoscopic size has... Read More about Assessing the Accuracy of Soot Nanoparticle Morphology Measurements Using Three-Dimensional Electron Tomography.

Soot in the Lubricating Oil: An Overlooked Concern for the Gasoline Direct Injection Engine? (2019)
Journal Article
Pfau, S. A., La Rocca, A., Haffner-Staton, E., Rance, G. A., Fay, M. W., & McGhee, M. (2019). Soot in the Lubricating Oil: An Overlooked Concern for the Gasoline Direct Injection Engine?. SAE Technical Papers, 2019-April, Article 2019-01-0301. https://doi.org/10.4271/2019-01-0301

Formation of soot is a known phenomenon for diesel engines, however, only recently emerged for gasoline engines with the introduction of direct injection systems. Soot-in-oil samples from a three-cylinder turbo-charged gasoline direct injection (GDI)... Read More about Soot in the Lubricating Oil: An Overlooked Concern for the Gasoline Direct Injection Engine?.
