Research
Interests
In
recent years, Evers has concentrated on the design of fuel injectors
which produce enhanced atomization and spray patterns for port-fuel-injectioned
spark-ignited engines. These fuel injectors have been tested in
the laboratory and in engines. He developed a film thickness sensor,
which has been used to measure the fuel film thickness in the inlet
port of a fuel-injected engine. The film thickness sensor is being
used to measure the film of oil in journal bearings.
