Mechanical engineering doctoral student Berk Can Duva (right) and his adviser, assistant professor Elisa Toulson, designed and constructed a constant volume combustion chamber for use in MSU’s Alternative Fuels and Combustion Lab. The equipment investigates combustion characteristics of potential renewable and alternative fuels for internal combustion engine and gas turbine applications. It can also investigate ignition characteristics and flammability limits. The lab is located in the Engineering Research Complex, on the south side of campus. Read more
