How Far Can We Go With The IC Engine? - Professor Colin Garner
When: Wednesday June 2, 2010 at 5.30pm
Where: Lecture Theatre T.0.03
Wolfson Building
Loughborough University
In his lecture, Professor Garner, the Perkins/Royal Academy of Engineering Professor of Applied Thermodynamics, will discuss the future of the internal combustion the internal combustion (IC) engine.
There are currently over 1 billion IC engines in the world, and they have a profound impact on the economy, environment and way of life.
Professor Garner will look at why the IC engine is so successful. He will present some examples of novel research at Loughborough University and elsewhere that has contributed significantly to reducing IC engine emissions and fuel consumption and that has helped us understand better their complex behaviour.
He will look at important issues ranging from the microscopic design of engine components to global geopolitics. He will discuss some alternative forms of vehicle propulsion and how the IC engine will play its role in driving the future.
