Improving Efficiency and Using E10 for Higher Loads in Boosted HCCI Engines

Predictive Control of HCCI Engines using Physical Models

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising internal combustion engine concept. It holds promise of combining low emission levels with high efficiency. However, as ignition timing in HCCI operation lacks direct actuation and is highly sensitive to operating conditions and disturbances, robust closed-loop control is necessary. To facilitate control design and allow for porting ...

Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engines

using c-test passages for improving reading comprehension ability and incidentally learned vocabulary of iranian efl learners

this study was an attempt to investigate the effect of using c-test passages on the reading comprehension and incidental vocabulary learning of iranian intermediate efl learners. the participants were 60 male efl learners at kish mehr institute in garmsar. in fact, there were two groups, an experimental group and a comparison group with 30 students in each. the participants were pretested throu...

Physics-Based Modeling and Control of Residual-Affected HCCI Engines

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a novel combustion strategy for IC engines that exhibits dramatic decreases in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Originally conceived in 1979, the HCCI methodology has been revisited several times by industry but has yet to be implemented because the process is difficult to control. To help address these control challenges, the authors her...

Contraction and Sum of Squares Analysis of Hcci Engines

By modulating engine valves to reinduct hot exhaust gas together with air and fuel, a clean and efficient form of autoignition can be created. Control of this combustion process, known as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), requires not only precise valve control but also a combustion control strategy that accounts for the cycle-to-cycle coupling through the exhaust. This paper outl...
