In my research I try to understand the fundamental processes such as fluid dynamics and combustion for the development of advanced internal combustion engine technologies and alternate fuels.
Single Cylinder Research Engine (SCORE)
SCORE has transparent quartz liner and quartz window in the piston crown for flow and combustion visualization. It has provision for control and measurement of fuel injection pressure.
