Hydrogen Opposed Piston Engine Working Group formed

Green Car Congress

—James Turner, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Clean Combustion Research Center, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Papers from BMW and Hydrogen Energy Research Lab show that sufficiently lean hydrogen combustion in properly designed combustion chamber results in close to zero NO x.

Extending low-load limit of HCCI through adjusting two fuel injection parameters

Green Car Congress

Unlike a spark ignition gas engine or diesel engine, HCCI produces a low-temperature, flameless release of energy throughout the entire combustion chamber. International Journal of Engine Research doi: 10.1177/1468087415583597. An HCCI engine ignites a mixture of fuel and air by compressing it in the cylinder. and Assanis, D.

New molybdenum-coated catalyst produces hydrogen from water-splitting more efficiently; preventing the back reaction

Green Car Congress

Now an international research team has developed a new catalyst with a molybdenum (Mo) coating that prevents this problematic back reaction and works well in realistic operating conditions. The work was supported by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. A paper on the work is published in the journal Angewandte Chemie.

New self-propelled robotic device pinpoints leaks in pipes more accurately than existing methods

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia have devised a robotic system that can detect leaks in gas, oil and water pipelines at a rapid pace and with high accuracy by sensing a large pressure change at leak locations.
