Multiphase Flow and Thermal Systems: Projects

Some current and recent research projects:

• CleanER-D: Clean European Rail-Diesel
  Project Leader(s): Mr R Palacin
  CleanER-D is a research project partly funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme. It aims to develop, improve and integrate emissions reduction technologies for diesel locomotives and rail vehicles...
