[Print-friendly version] This project addresses Australia’s research priority #1: An environmentally Sustainable Australia, through the priority goals of reducing emissions in transport as well as transforming existing industries.   It is consistent with the Government’s Transport Fuels Policy (to improve fuel standards and to develop the alternative fuel industry), will help to achieve the Government’s Biofuels Target (of 350ML by 2010) and meets the goals of the AP6 Clean Technology program.       Diesel engine connected with heat exchanger and vortex mixer     Introduction We are testing the possibilities of the assemblies of vortex mixers and heat exchangers to the diesel engine to produce better engine performance. This technology offers the option to reduce the use of fossil fuels (diesel) and to increase the use of renewable fuel (ethanol). Current research programs Our research program related to fuels and performance of dual fuel diesel engines. Partner organisations Partners involved in the dual fuel project. Personnel Staff involved in the research of fuels and performance of dual fuel diesel engines. Publications Research publications related to investigations of fuels and performance of dual fuel diesel engines.
