Experimental Investigation on Hydrous Methanol Fueled HCCI Engine Using Spark Assisted Method

experimental investigation of gasoline fueled hcci engine load expansion

operating an engine with homogeneous charge compression ignition (hcci) technique is a promising technique to lower nox and pm emissions of engines while achieving high efficiency and lower fuel consumption. nevertheless, applications for hcci are still limited due to the absence of a definite means to control ignition timing and narrow operating region. a single cylinder diesel engine with com...

An Experimental Investigation of Spark Ignition Engine Fueled with Ethanol/Iso-octane and Methanol/Iso-octane Fuel Blends

Alcohols have been used as a fuel for engines since 19th century. Among the various alcohols, ethanol and methanol are known as the most suited renewable, bio-based and ecofriendly fuel for spark-ignition (SI) engines. The most attractive properties of ethanol and methanol as an SI engine fuel are that it can be produced from renewable energy sources such as sugar, cane, cassava, many types ...

Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Cooled EGR on Turbocharger HCCI Engine Performance Fueled with Methane

An experimental investigation of the sensitivity of the ignition and combustion properties of a single-cylinder research engine to spark-assisted HCCI

Spark-assisted homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion may be a method to improve the operation of HCCI engines. In the current study, the impact of spark assist on the fundamental properties of ignition and combustion was investigated in a single cylinder, optically-accessible research engine. Early port fuel injection and air preheating were used with indolene fuel in the st...

Investigation of spatially resolved light absorption in a spark-ignition engine fueled with propane/air.

UV absorption in the combustion phase of spark-ignition engines strongly influences laser-induced-fluorescence measurements and flame-emission techniques because of the attenuation of a laser and/or signal light. This absorption was assessed with spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions in an optically accessible research engine. Absorption was measured along a line for different crank-angle...
