PhD Project - Particulate formation and minimization from bio-diesel engines Combustion and Harmful Emission Control Research Centre Department of Chemical Engineering

A 3 year PhD position on the above mentioned topic is open at the CHEC (Combustion and Harmful Emission Control) Research Centre, Department of Chemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark.

*Supervisors: *Professor Kim Dam-Johansen (kdj@kt.dtu.dk), Associate Professor Peter Arendt Jensen (paj@kt.dtu.dk), Professor Anker Jensen (aj@kt.dtu.dk).

*Background:
*To reduce the dependence on fossil oil, and reduce the net emissions of greenhouse gases, biofuels such as ethanol and bio-diesel may be used as transportation fuel. The full environmental influence of an increased utilization of bio transportation fuels is presently not known. A PhD project will therefore be initiated to investigate the influence of using bio-diesel or other liquid bio-fuels on gaseous and particulate emissions from diesel engines.

The objective of this PhD study is to quantify the influence of bio-diesel and diesel blends on the emission of particulates, hydrocarbons and NOx from engines, and thereby obtain improved knowledge on the particulate formation process as well as study the influence of the bio-diesel on catalytic filters. The project will be conducted in collaboration with other Danish research institutions.

*Project content:
*The study shall include experimental quantification of particulate formation and reduction in an engine, in the exhaust system and in a catalytic filter, as well as development of a model of the particulate reduction process. The experimental work may include some of the following tasks: Commissioning of test rig and measuring equipment, study of the influence of fuel properties and engine operation parameters on emissions, study of deactivation of the catalytic filters and supplement of engine
test bench measurements with lab reactor experiments on the catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons.

*Contents of PhD application:
*Candidates should hold a master degree in chemical engineering, or a similar degree with an equivalent academic level. Applications must include Curriculum Vitae, a statement on your motivation for applying, recommendations, and copies of all grade lists and other relevant diplomas.

The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students at the Technical University of Denmark:

The way to AMINEF in Gedung Balai Pustaka

American Indonesian Exchange Foundation
Balai Pustaka Building, 6th. Floor
Jl. Gunung Sahari Raya No. 4
Jakarta 10720, Indonesia

1. The buses which goes to Senen Bus Station all of them pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. Especially which route is through Pasar Baru .

2. Bus Transjakarta, from Blok M you have to change the bus 2-3 times.
Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
