Ponnya Hlaing, Ph.D Student

Biography

I am interested in the application of pre-chambers for efficiency improvements and emission reductions in the internal combustion engines, especially in the heavy duty and marine sector.

Research Interests

pre-chamber combustion, turbulent jet ignition, low-temperature combustion, pre-ignition and super-knock, gasoline compression ignition.

Current Research Topic: Pre-chamber Combustion in Heavy Duty Engines, as part of Saudi Aramco FuelCOM3
