| Abstract |
Our long term goal is to develop and implement a micro flame ionization sensor that can be
fabricated using existing techniques. These sensors can be fitted into any combustion engines to
monitor combustion events and processes. An array of miniaturized sensors may also be used to detect
the flame speed and propagation direction by time-of-flight analysis. These sensors, when used in
combination to advanced engine tuning techniques, may increase combustion efficiency, or be used to
reduce emissions. |
