2004 ASME Award for Best Presentation

Stephen Ciatti of Argonne National Laboratory received an award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for having given the best presentation at the 24th Conseil International des Machines a Combustion (CIMAC)/ASME World Congress on Combustion Engine Technology, in Kyoto, Japan, in June 2004. Ciatti accepted the award on behalf of himself and his colleagues, Chris Powell, Seong-Kyun Cheong, and Jinyuan Liu, and Michigan Technological University professor Franz X. Tanner. Their paper, "Comparison of X-Ray-Based Fuel Spray Measurements with Computer Simulation Using the CAB Model," pinpointed the reason for discrepancies that had arisen between Argonne's X-ray measurements of diesel fuel spray profiles and optical measurements made by other research groups.
