Combustion Technologies for Zero-emission High Efficiency Combustion Engines, Speaker: Hua Zhao

Combustion Webinar Lecture 05/23/2020 The recent announcement by the UK government on the proposal to ban the sale of petro and diesel powered cars and normal hybrid vehicles by 2035 has raised questions on the future of internal combustion (IC) engines. However, uptake of electric vehicles is too slow and the technology itself is not yet efficient enough to quickly make significant cuts to emissions. In addition, the green house gas emission of the electric vehicles will hugely depend on the source of electricity generation. In the case of commercial vehicles and marine vessels, IC engines will remain dominant for the next few decades because of their high power density and long operation, their flexibility in power output, their ability to use low carbon and renewable and zero carbon fuels. In this webinar, the presentation will start with an brief overview on the powertrain technology to demonstrate the lifetime CO2 emissions from battery electric, engines and hybrid engine/battery systems. This will be followed by the current research and development in combustion process and their control in internal combustion engines. Finally, it will be shown that IC engines can be operated with zero-emission of both CO2 and pollutants. Prof. Zhao is currently the Vice Dean Research of College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences at Brunel University London in UK. He was the chairman of the Powertrain Systems and Fuels Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in UK and the Chief Scientist of the National Key Programme on internal combustion engines in China. He is a Fellow of Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) and Fellow of Society of Automotive Engineering (FSAE). He has published over 350 papers and 6 books on IC engines and laser diagnostics in combustion engines. His research covers both spark ignition and compression ignition engines and their fuels. Over the last two decades, he has carried out collaborative research and development projects with a number of international companies in Europe and China and chaired many international conferences.
