Herrick Laboratories Isometric

Closed-loop, “fuel-flexible” combustion control for clean, efficient use of alternative fuels: biodiesel, ethanol, natural gas, H2, coal-to-

liquid, etc.

› Alternative fuels can provide significant benefits:– Increased domestic energy security

– Reduced emissions

– Lower costs (more choices, better price)

› Requirement: estimate & accommodate (i.e. control for) different combustion behavior for variable:

– Blend ratios (e.g., E10 vs. E85, etc.)

– Types (e.g., biodiesel vs. diesel, etc.)

– Feedstocks (e.g., soy- vs. jatropa-based biodiesel, etc.)
