2001 SAE Award for Excellence in Oral Presentation

Christopher Powell of Argonne National Laboratory's Center for Transportation Research (CTR) received a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Award for Excellence in Oral Presentation for his presentation entitled "X-Ray Measurement of High Pressure Diesel Sprays" at the March 2001 SAE World Congress in Detroit, Michigan. The talk introduced the fundamentals of spray measurements using x-rays and presented the results of measurements of an injector and nozzle donated to Argonne by Robert Bosch GmbH of Stuttgart, Germany. The presentation highlighted the unique ability of the x-ray measurements to reconstruct the fuel distribution in the spray as a function of time.
