The calibration and comparison to experimental data of a parallel computing multi-zone combustion model for simulating operational characteristics of an n-butanol/n-heptane fuelled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine utilizing the negative valve overlap (NVO) technology is...

In electrostatic atomization, the input electrical energy causes breaking up of the droplet surface by utilizing a mutual repulsion of net charges accumulating on that surface. In this work a number of key parameters controlling the bio-oil droplet breakup process are identified and these...
