Journal Article
Hegab, A., La Rocca, A., & Shayler, P. (2017). Towards keeping diesel fuel supply and demand in balance: dual-fuelling of diesel engines with natural gas. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 70, 666-697. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2016.11.249

With the continuous growth of energy demand for the commercial transport sector, the market share of diesel vehicles is rising in several areas worldwide. Global demand for transport energy is therefore believed to be strongly skewed towards heavier...

The initiation and development of combustion under cold idling conditions using a glow plug in diesel engines (2016)
Journal Article
Li, Q., Shayler, P. J., McGhee, M. J., & La Rocca, A. (2017). The initiation and development of combustion under cold idling conditions using a glow plug in diesel engines. International Journal of Engine Research, 18(3), 240-255. https://doi.org/10.1177/1468087416652266

Factors determining the success or failure of combustion initiation using a glow plug have been investigated through experimental work on a single cylinder, common rail diesel engine with a geometric compression ratio of 15.5, and a quiescent combust...
