Effect of various operating parameters in the fuel burning rate.Fuel combustion rate analysis using in-cylinder trace diagrams.The laboratory is also an integral part of undergraduate laboratory experiment for the courses such as ME 468 Engine Design, ME 467 Internal Combustion Engine II, and ME 367 Internal Combustion Engine I.įollowing experiment will be conducted in this laboratory to enhance the undergraduate teaching: Another area of interest is the investigation on the knock phenomena and cyclic variation while using alternatives fuels and their mixtures and modeling of these phenomena using high end software and detailed chemical kinetics. The effect of various operating parameters, such as fuel compositions, pressure, temperature, spark timing, on performance, efficiency and operational limits is investigated through experiment and analytical modeling and simulation techniques.

The alternative fuel research laboratory is focused on the performance evaluation of internal combustion engines using alternative gaseous fuels and their mixtures.

Bade Shrestha in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is the leading professor in the research.
