Abstract In recent years hydrogen, especially the one generated by renewable energy, is gaining increasing attention as a clean fuel to support future mobility towards efficient and low emission solutions for propulsion systems. this scenario, present work deals with virtual conversion of single-cylinder Diesel engine, conceived marine applications, into hydrogen Spark Ignition (SI) unit. A sim...

Recent advances in gas turbine combustor design are aimed at achieving low exhaust emissions, hence modern aircraft jet engines are designed with lean-burn combustion systems. In the present work, we report an experimental study on lean combustion in a liquid fuel burner, operated under a non-premixed (single point injection) regime that mimics the combustion in a modern aircraft engine. The fl...

We tested the hypothesis that the administration of recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH) and exercise would increase lean body mass (LBM) and muscle strength in burned children to a greater extent than rHGH or exercise separately. Children, ages 7-17 yr, with >40% body surface area burned, were randomized into groups. One group (GHEX, n = 10) participated in a 12-wk in-hospital physical reha...

Abstract The computational and experimental assessment of a lean-burn low-NOx combustor simulator for an engine component test facility is presented. Engine Component Aero-Thermal (ECAT) full-scale engine-parts facility, designed the study aero-thermal performance fully cooled high-pressure nozzle guide vanes (NGVs). operates with non-dimensionally matched conditions in terms Reynolds number, M...
