Evaluation of Ammonia Co-fuelling in Modern Four Stroke Engines (2023)
Journal Article
Ambalakatte, A., Hegab, A., Geng, S., Cairns, A., Harrington, A., Hall, J., & Bassett, M. (2023). Evaluation of Ammonia Co-fuelling in Modern Four Stroke Engines. Johnson Matthey Technology Review, https://doi.org/10.1595/205651324x17005622661871

Ammonia (NH3) is emerging as a promising alternative fuel for longer range decarbonised heavy transport, particularly in the marine sector due to highly favourable characteristics as an effective hydrogen carrier. This is despite generally unfavourab... Read More about Evaluation of Ammonia Co-fuelling in Modern Four Stroke Engines.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation thermal barrier coating for reduced heat losses in IC engines (2021)
Journal Article
Hegab, A., Dahuwa, K., Islam, R., Cairns, A., Khurana, A., Shrestha, S., & Francis, R. (2021). Plasma electrolytic oxidation thermal barrier coating for reduced heat losses in IC engines. Applied Thermal Engineering, 196, Article 117316. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2021.117316

The work involved the development and on-engine testing of a new “thermo-swing” barrier coating for reduced wall heat transfer and increased thermal efficiency in future diesel engines utilizing aluminium alloy pistons. Such swing coatings, of low th... Read More about Plasma electrolytic oxidation thermal barrier coating for reduced heat losses in IC engines.

Towards keeping diesel fuel supply and demand in balance: dual-fuelling of diesel engines with natural gas (2016)
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...
