Future energy systems increasingly rely on renewable energy sources in combination with flexible backup systems such clean hydrogen (H2) based power generation. The role of H2 in the power sector is however not yet completely clear, as multiple technology options exist and their usage heavily depends on the future enegy mix as well as energy demand. Target: This master’s thesis…

Investigation of the Injection Process and the Mixture Formation in a Methanol-Fueled Large Bore Engine Using 3D-CFD Simulation
The use of low-carbon fuels such as methanol instead of conventional fuels such as natural gas for large bore engines helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Experimental investigation of a novel methanol combustion concept on a large high-speed engine allowed the assessment of performance, emissions and limitations of the combustion concept.Target: The aim of this work is to gain a…

Design of a Control System of a Rapid Compression Machine
https://www.lec.at/job-entries/design-of-a-control-system-of-a-rapid-compression-machine/?lang=en
The Rapid Compression Machine at LEC is used for the investigation of ignition, combustion and knocking investigations of combustion engines. Due to the concept without a crank train, this machine can be used to simulate individual combustion cycles with great flexibility in terms of piston stroke, compression ratio and composition of the working gas. The optical access in the piston…

LEC shines for “Orange the World”
https://www.lec.at/news-entries/lec-leuchtet-auch-2025-fuer-orange-the-world/?lang=en
#16Days #EndGenderBasedViolence Violence against women continues to be one of the most widespread human rights violations. Every year, the UN campaign “Orange the World” sends a visible message from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (Human Rights Day): Buildings around the world are illuminated in orange as a call to pay attention…
High Speed Particle Image Velocimetry in a Large Engine Prechamber
In this study, state-of-the-art laser-based optical measurement technology is utilized to visualize the flow field inside the prechamber of a large-bore gas engine. High-Speed Particle Image Velocimetry (HS-PIV) has been demonstrated to provide significant insights into the evolution of the prechamber flow field and its characteristics. The measurements provide a comprehensive database for improving modeling approaches and validating 3D-CFD simulations.
