Examination of the available ignition delay time data and correlations in the case of methane, butane, heptane, decane, kerosene, Jet-A and <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-style: nor...

To facilitate the better use of RP-3 kerosene in compression ignition engines, auto-ignition behaviors spray were experimentally investigated an optical rapid machine. Results show that most tests have good ignitability and combustion performance. For all successful ignited cases, flame kernel was found to be formed before steep rise pressure, which explained image-based delay time is always sh...

This paper presents the effects of introducing hydrogen with gasoline on the engine performance like power, torque and efficiency of spark ignition (SI) engine. Hydrogen is found to be one of the important energy substitutes of the future era. Hydrogen as a renewable energy source provides the potential for a sustainable development, particularly in the automotive and energy storing sector. Hyd...

At present, it is highly required from the automobile sector to develop clean technologies with lower fuel consumption for ambient air quality improvement, green house gas reduction and energy security. Furthermore, due to continuously stringent emission legislation and the fast depletion of the primary energy resources, the development of new highly efficient and environment friendly combustio...

A mechanism generator code to automatically generate mechanisms for the oxidation and combustion of large hydrocarbons has been successfully modified in this work. The modification was through: (1) improvement of the existing rules such as cyclic-ether reactions and aldehyde reactions, (2) inclusion of some additional rules to the code, such as ketone reactions, hydroperoxy cyclic-ether formati...

The parameters that are present in Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) are believed to provide an important contribution to control the auto-ignition process of the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) in an engine. For the investigation of the behaviour of the autoignition process, a kinetic multi-component mechanism has been developed in former work, containing 62 reactions and 49 speci...
