MULTIELECTRODE ARRAYS FOR OLFACTORY INVESTIGATIONS

Not Available Adiabatics, Inc. and Indiana Research Institute are proposing a joint research effort to show the technical feasibility of achieving high power density diesel propulsion technology. Design targets include cylinder heat loading of 4 hp per square-inch of piston area or greater, 4 cycle bmep exceeding 300 psi, and brake specific heat rejection of 12 btu/bhp-min. or lower. Brake specific fuel consumption and specific power outputs will be consistent with the latest technological know-how. Five (5) specific technologies being considered are: 1. High-Temperature Tribology, 2. Insulative Components, 3. Fuel Injection Enhancement, 4. Turbo-Alternator Turbocompounding and 5. Lightweight Engine Structure. Indiana Research Institute will undertake (3) and (4) while Adiabatics, Inc. will undertake (1), (2) and (5). The above assignment will assure the optimum utilization of each companies capability. A newly conceived combustion concept designated as the Spatially Resolved system is being proposed in conjunction with the Shower Head injection nozzle. The second novel concept being proposed is a cooling system involving an exhaust ejector for inducting cooling air through finned surfaces where limited cooling is desired. No coolant, moving parts or pumps, fans and radiator will be required. A carbon composite material with a coating to prevent oxidation will also be exploited. Many other interesting features will be considered in this proposal phase I program. BENEFITS: Upon comp
