Reactivity controlled compression ignition engine: Pathways towards commercial viability

Reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) is a promising energy conversion strategy to increase fuel efficiency and reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) soot emissions through improved in-cylinder combustion process. Considering the significant amount of conducted research development on RCCI concept, majority work has been performed under steady-state conditions. However, most thermal propulsion systems in transportation applications require operation transient In it crucial investigate behavior over entire load conditions order minimize engine-out meet new real driving (RDE) legislation. This would help further close gap between implement concept into mass production. provides comprehensive review performance analyses engines with consideration effects vehicular applications. For this purpose, various simulation experimental studies have reviewed implementing different control strategies like control-oriented models particularly dual-mode operating addition, application hybrid electric vehicle platforms using renewable fuels also discussed. The discussion present paper important insights for future as commercially viable automotive
