Work focused on the evaluation of the effects of different engine technologies (engine friction reduction, variation of compression ratio, Miller/Atkinson cycle, cooled EGR, turbocharging and downsizing) on the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from passenger cars aiming to fit the more and more stringent regulations in the next future. All the work was carried out by means of 1D CFD simulations on GT-Power.

I have done this work during my bachelor's degree in order to start to gain experience on the field. In particular I was responsible for the design of mechanical components by the use of AutoCad and SolidWorks and for their following production on a pantograph by the use of software such as Type3, Mach3 and so forth.
