Biography

 Gautam Kalghatgi has recently retired from Saudi Aramco. He is also a Visiting Professor at Imperial College London and at Oxford university and has held similar professorial appointments at KTH Stockholm, Technical University Eindhoven and Sheffield University.  He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, SAE, I.Mech.E. and the Combustion Institute and is on the editorial boards of several journals.  He has been active in industrial research since 1979, in Shell Research for 31 years and in Saudi Aramco since October 2010. He has published extensively, including a book - “Fuel/Engine Interactions” - on combustion, fuels, transport energy and engine research.  He has a B.Tech. from I.I.T. Bombay (1972) and a Ph.D. from Bristol University (1975) in Aeronautical Engineering and did post-doctoral research on turbulent combustion at Southampton University for four years before joining Shell.

Abstract

Lecture 1 and 2 Outlook for Energy and Transport– A. Discusses drivers for energy demand, supply and demand issues, conventional energy sources and alternatives. B Transport energy outlook – drivers for change, prospects for alternatives to internal combustion engines and conventional fuels, challenges of full electrification, importance of internal combustion engines and the necessity and potential for improving them

Lecture 3 - Practical Transport Fuels – Composition, Properties, Manufacture, Specifications

Lecture 4 – Deposits in Engines and Fuel Additives. Fuel system, intake system and combustion chamber deposits in SI engines; diesel injector deposits in diesel engines. Mechanisms of formation; effect on engine performance and operation; methods of control

Lecture 5 - Fuel Anti-Knock Quality and Knock in SI Engines. Knock and SI engine performance; fuel antiknock quality, RON, MON and octane index; lessons from HCCI studies;future fuel requirements

Lecture 6 – Insights into knock onset, knock intensity, superknock and preignition. Knock fundamentals; ignition delay and Livengood-Wu integral; stochastic nature of knock; knock intensity, developing detonation and superknock; difference between preignition and superknock; application of fundamental insights to practical understanding.

Lecture 7 - Fuel effects in compression ignition engines. Particulate/NOx control and ignition delay; Gasoline Compression Ignition (GCI) engines; fuel effects, advantages, challenges and prospects for GCI; dual fuel approaches to low NOx/low soot combustion.

Lecture 8 – Evolution of future transport energy and implications for future fuels. Summary of previous 7 lectures. Future fuels and engines.

In total, 8-9 hours of lectures and discussion
