Advanced Powertrain and Fuels

In the Advanced Powertrain and Fuels degree at Brunel University of London, we have particular strengths in improving the efficiency and reducing emissions of existing engines through developing advanced combustion processes and their controls and boosting technologies.

We are equipped with the most advanced camless and direct injection research engines, as well as state-of-art laser and optical equipment for the study of fuels and engines: in particular marrying experimental and modelling methods and through the utilisation of advanced laser measurement techniques in transparent optical engines.

Features

• The research on regenerative engine braking is feeding strongly into our commercialisation activities.

• In the Advanced Powertrain and Fuels programme from Brunel University London , we have particular interests in developing efficient bio-fuel supply chains, as well as a number of novel technologies for manufacturing bio-fuel from industrial waste and new combustion technologies optimised for bio-fuels.

Courses include:

• Assessment of Structures and Materials under Extreme Conditions

• Biomedical Engineering

• Digital Manufacturing

• Resilient Structures and Construction Materials

• Energy Efficient and Sustainable Technologies
