This is the optically accessible six-cylinder DAF diesel engine in Nijmegen, together with a schematic view of the measurement cylinder. In this engine laser diagnostic techniques (mainly laser-induced fluorescence and Rayleigh/Raman/Mie scattering) are applied to study the combustion processes inside the cylinder, with the ultimate goal of understanding these processes and reducing the emission of pollutants (NO, NOx, soot, et cetera ad nauseam) of diesel engines.

This is our poster Nitric oxide inside a realistic heavy-duty diesel engine (by E.J. van den Boom, R.J.H. Klein-Douwel, A.P. van Vliet, W.L. Meerts, N.J. Dam, and J.J. ter Meulen), recently presented at the Symposium "Towards clean Diesel engines" (Paris, June 2000) and the "28th International Symposium on Combustion" (Edinburgh, August 2000). If you would like a copy of it (either on paper [A4 size] or as a GIF file [1.90 MB]), please send an email to robertkd@sci.kun. |
