In the normal course of things, journal publications can be seen as the part of the normal day-to-day academic output. However, in this case we were particularly pleased, since this paper is the first journal publication to emanate from the new School of Engineering.

The paper is also important since it is an example of the collaborative research which is core to the School of Engineering. The research was kicked off through a Research Council grant:
- EPSRC Grant: GR/S97507/01 ‘Zero Constraint Free Piston Energy Converter’ PI: Paul Stewart. Collaborating University: Rui Chen, Dept. Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, University of Loughborough UK. Collaborating Company: Lotus Engineering, Consortium Project Manager: Paul Stewart: £326,00, Lboro £260,000, Lotus Engineering Contribution: £330,000
Dan Gladwin received a Doctoral Industrial CASE Award from Lotus Cars, and was supervised by Prof. Stewart. He is currently a post-doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield
Professor Rui Chen in the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering at the University of Loughborough is continuing in a long-standing collaborative research relationship with us here in Lincoln. We are currently developing novel combustion control methodologies with Lotus.


Hello Paul,
Following your new blog with interest!
Would you consider depositing a copy of this paper in the University’s Repository? It would be great to begin to build a complete record of the SchEng’s publications from day one… and Professional Engineering Publishing appear to have a very sensible attitude to open-access deposit.
I’d be very happy to meet you or one of your colleagues to discuss the School’s approach to the Repository.
Best,
Paul (Stainthorp – electronic resources librarian)
Hi Paul
I have just received the final copy from the publishers, and will post it.
Hi Paul
Am in the (long) process of uploading my publications. One of my new Profs has 140 papers to upload, which may take some time……..

It is possible for administrators of the repository, like Paul and I, to run batch edits on the metadata for existing papers. So if there is metadata that is shared across a number of papers, we could enter it by batch, saving you the repetition.
