Clean Fuel/Engine Design Optimization Consortium Growing

摘要

U.S. Dept. of Energy's Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) just joined the "model fuels consortium" (MFC), an international group dedicated to finding faster, cheaper and more efficient ways for researchers to develop cleaner fuels and engines.First organized by California-based Reaction Design (developer of the Chemkin method for modeling gas-phase and surface chemistry), MFC now includes General Motors, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Cummins, Dow Chemical, Ford Motor, Honda, L'Institut Fran?ais du Pétrole, Mazda, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citro?n and Toyota.
