Worked with Dr. Antony Beris performing an exergy analysis on the internal combustion engine. Compared engine performance running on gasoline vs. varying biofuels and biofuel blends. The analysis included a cradle to grave examination of existing biofuels options (ethanol, butanol, biodiesel), their feed sources (food crops, non-food plants, organic waste), and the varying efficiencies of converting these feed sources into the desired biofuel.
