2004 SAE Award for Excellence in Oral Presentation

Christopher Powell of Argonne National Laboratory's Center for Transportation Research (CTR) recently received a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Award for Excellence in Oral Presentation for his talk on the effects of injector nozzle geometry on diesel fuel sprays at the June 2004 SAE Fuels and Lubricants Meeting and Exhibition in Toulouse, France. The talk presented the results of a collaboration between CTR researchers, who conducted experimental studies at Argonne National Laboratory's Advanced Photon Source (APS), and fuel spray modeling researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who developed fuel-spray behavior predictions based on the geometries of the fuel injector nozzles used in the APS experiments.
