Day Two of the 31st International Congress of Engine Builders: Science, Technology, and New Solutions.
September 9 marked the second day of the congress, focusing on key issues regarding theory and operating processes, as well as modern solutions in the field of reciprocating internal combustion engines.
During the morning session on "Theory and Operating Processes," participants presented research on modeling temperature fields in combustion chambers, acoustic gas oscillations, low-thrust jet engines, and the use of "green" fuels.
A distinct area of focus was hydrogen technologies, cryogenic fuels, and fuel cells. Topics included hybrid marine power plants, modeling hydrogen flow distribution within the fuel system of a hydrogen-powered aircraft engine, and research into heat and mass transfer processes.
In the afternoon, proceedings continued in the "Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines" session. Experts discussed the future of internal combustion engines in automotive transport, the impact of thermal emissions on the urban environment, and the thermal stability of battery packs in hybrid and electric vehicles.
Attention was also directed toward alternative fuels, energy efficiency, and digital technologies, including biogas-based engine fuel, water-ammonia fuel mixtures, digital twins of engines, and CO₂ emission reduction technologies.
The second day once again demonstrated that modern engine engineering encompasses not only traditional designs and operating processes but also artificial intelligence, digital modeling, hydrogen technologies, alternative fuels, and the pursuit of more environmentally friendly solutions. The 31st International Congress of Engine Builders is underway.
Two more days of work lie ahead, featuring further panel sessions, scientific presentations, and professional discussions.
It is a congress that, for over thirty years, has united those who are shaping the future of engine manufacturing.
