Berkeley Combustion

Research relating to combustion at UC Berkeley

  • Argon Power Cycle
    • Carried out HCCI (Homogeneous Charged Compression Ignition) combustion experiments using natural gas under various conditions (equivalence ratio/oxygen content/compression ratio), to understand the characteristics of engine performance and emission under different conditions. 
    • Analyzed the experimental data using MATLAB. 
  • Water Emulsified Diesel
    • Simulation of the combustion in the engine using CONVERGE
