Thermoelectrics The next decade will be critical in the development of this field. Taking into account the difficulty in identifying the 'right' compound and optimizing to ZT > 1, long term sustainable planning is necessary and close collaboration between chemists, physicists and engineers is key to success.

Flowfield Analysis Flows in internal combustion engine cylinders are almost always turbulent. Moreover, it is generally believed that, the more turbulent the air motion, the greater the degree of mixing of air and fuel that can be achieved prior to ignition. Read More |
Powertrain Powertrain research provides evaluation of new materials, sensor concepts, control strategies for internal combustion engines, hybrid vehicles, propulsion strategies such as fuel cells, dilute homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion, and active flow-control technology.
