 Amount: £204,000
The aim of the project is to develop a computationally cost-effective numerical tool for Co-Optimisation of fuel blend and combustion system in a systematic way, and to examine how the conflicting requirements can be met by adding gaseous fuels to ammonia so that engine can be operated stably and reliably with improved thermal efficiency and minimal NOx emissions.
