A Theoretical Study on the Effects of Thermal Stratification on the Operating Range of HCCI Engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract The characteristics of auto-ignition in HCCI engines in the presence of charge stratification is studied theoretically using activation energy asymptotics. Some preliminary results on the effects of mixture stratification on the duration of burning and the sensitivity of ignition delay to initial temperature are presented. The analysis accounts for the effects of pressure rise due to piston motion and heat release, and the consequent compression heating of the charge. The results of this theoretical study can be used for extensive parametric studies of the effects of different temperature and composition distributions on HCCI combustion.

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 ...
متن کاملReformer Gas Application in Combustion Onset Control of HCCI Engine
Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion is spontaneous multi-site combustion of a nominally premixed air/fuel mixture that exhibits high rate of pressure rise and short combustion duration. To avoid excessive pressure rise rate and knocking, HCCI engines are fueled with highly diluted mixture using a combination of excess air and/or EGR. HCCI combustion is attractive due to ...
متن کاملStudying the Effect of Reformer Gas and Exhaust Gas Recirculation on Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Engine Operation
Combustion in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is controlled auto ignition of well-mixed fuel, air and residual gas. Since onset of HCCI combustion depends on the auto ignition of fuel/air mixture, there is no direct control on the start of combustion process. Therefore, HCCI combustion becomes unstable rather easily especially at lower and higher engine load. Charge strati...

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is a pioneer method of combustion in which pre-mixed fuel and oxidizer (typically air) are compressed to the point of auto-ignition. HCCI engines can operate with most alternative fuels, especially, dimethyl ether (DME) which has been tested as a possible diesel fuel due to its simultaneously low NOx and PM emissions. In this paper a ...
