Research Summary

Dr. Jacobs is the Director of the Advanced Engine Research Laboratory, which centers on improving advanced internal combustion engines, including diesel, gasoline, and natural gas engines, for performance, thermodynamic and combustion efficiencies, and emissions (including reduced carbon emissions). Specific research projects include low temperature combustion, low heat rejection, biodiesel combustion, natural gas compression engines, and simulation development for modeling engines. The laboratory combines experimental research capabilities with computational-based simulation tools. Experimental capabilities include medium- and light-duty diesel engines and a single-cylinder natural gas spark-ignition engine. Simulation capabilities include commercially-available simulation packages, in-house developed simulation software, and commercially-available CFD packages.
