IsoDAR is a novel experiment designed to measure neutrino oscillations through ν̄e disappearance, thus providing a definitive search for sterile neutrinos. In order to generate the necessary anti-neutrino flux, a high intensity primary proton beam is needed. In IsoDAR, H 2 is accelerated and is stripped into protons just before the target, to overcome space charge issues at injection. As part of...

Ethanol is receiving great interest as an alternative fuel. Methanol is another alcohol fuel that could serve as a replacement for gasoline. Although it is currently receiving much less attention, it has the potential to play an important role. Like ethanol, methanol also has the advantage of being a liquid fuel and it can be produced from gasification of a variety of feedstocks using well esta...

Dual-fuelling provides a suitable method for operating compression-ignition engines on alternative fuels. The CFD package Fluent is being used to model the direct-injection of two such fuels simultaneously into an engine. The CFD models have been initially calibrated using high-speed photographic visualisation of the jets. Different orientations and staging of the jets with respect to each othe...
