Operating Range Expansion in a HCCI Natural Gas Engine Using Charge and Thermal Stratification in Combustion Chamber

HCCI operating window has two distinct boundaries of knock at higher load region and misfiring/partial burning at lower load region. Moreover, there is no conventional direct way of controlling combustion timing in an HCCI engine. In this research, experimental study were carried out to investigate the effect of thermal and charge stratification on expansion of the operating range of a natural ...

Pricing Natural Gas Distribution in Mexico

We examine regulation of distribution tariffs in the Mexican natural gas industry. Average revenue in each period is constrained not to exceed an upper bound and is calculated as the ratio of total revenue to output in the current period. This regime implies incentives for setting two-part tariffs strategically. The usage charge is typically dropped to its lowest feasible level while the fixed ...
