The Department of Mechanical Engineering Organizes a Seminar on Spray Formation and Combustion in Direct-Injection SI Engines with Diverse Fuels

The Seminar took place on Wednesday, 7th October 2021 at the Associated Consultants Conference Room. Prof. George Yaw Obeng, Dean of Faculty of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering, Prof. Albert Sunu, the Head of Mechanical Engineering Department, lecturers and students of the Mechanical Engineering Department were present at the seminar. 

The session was led by Dr, Ajabofu Angoye from the Imperial College, London who is also an alumnus. His presentation covered Spray Formation, Spray Image Processing and Spray Wall Impingements experiments. He further took participants through the Airflow Characteristics, Combustion Characteristics and Laser Sheet Flames Tomography. 

He ended his presentation with emphasis on deepening the collaboration between KNUST College of Engineering and Imperial College, London. He reiterated that, Imperial College has capabilities in machinery, research works and experiments. A lot of fundamental research and laboratory experiments can be achieved through collaboration, he added. 

Participants asked questions for more insight on the subject while appreciating the additional knowledge gained.
