the paper presents results of experimental studies on the methane and propane ignition process in various volumetric compositions of oxidizers heated to temperatures higher than ignition point of analyzed fuels (htac conditions–high temperature air combustion conditions). the increment of temperature dt and the ignition delay time tig are parameters characterizing the process of ignition under ...

Advanced combustion modes such as Controlled Auto-Ignition or Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition have been under much attention due to their ability to reduce both emissions and fuel consumption. Thus, this paper aims at demonstrating the achievement of Controlled Auto-Ignition combustion on a standard 4-cylinder gasoline engine with negative valve overlap (NVO) and analyzing its performan...

A new combustion model is developed and applied to simulate combustion in dual-fuel engines in which the premixed natural gas is ignited by the combustion flame initiated by a diesel spray. The model consists of a diesel auto-ignition model and a flame propagation model. A G-equation model previously developed to simulate SI engine combustion was incorporated with an auto-ignition model to simu...

Combustion in the cylinder of a spark ignition engine, particularly under low load conditions, is subject to cycleby-cycle variations due to factors such as mixture quality and quantity and internal exhaust gas recirculation. The major result of this phenomenon is an increase in the variability of indicated engine torque at a given engine operating point. Automotive control problems dealing wit...
