Presentation / Conference Contribution
Haffner-Staton, E., La Rocca, A., Cairns, A., McGhee, M., & Fay, M. Assessing the Accuracy of Soot Nanoparticle Morphology Measurements Using Three-Dimensional Electron Tomography. Presented at WCX SAE World Congress Experience

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.

A study of hydrous ethanol combustion in an optical central direct injection spark ignition engine (2019)
Journal Article
Koupaie, M. M., Cairns, A., Vafamehr, H., & Lanzanova, T. D. M. (2019). A study of hydrous ethanol combustion in an optical central direct injection spark ignition engine. Applied Energy, 237, 258-269. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.12.093

The aim of this experimental work was to improve understanding of the influence of hydrous ethanol on combustion in an engine demonstrating a tendency for biased flame migration towards the hotter exhaust walls as often reported for typical modern pe...
