the dual fuel engines at part loads inevitably suffer from lower thermal efficiency and higher carbon monoxide and unburned fuel emission. this work is carried out to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (dieselgas) engine at part loads, using a single zone combustion model with detailed chemical kinetics for combustion of natural gas fuel. the authors developed software in whi...

A large eddy simulation (LES) model was developed to simulate the combustion process in a spark-assisted homogeneous charge compression ignition (SACI) engine. First, an ignition and flame propagation model based on a reaction progress variable is presented. The reaction progress variable is defined based on the normalized cumulative heat release. Transport equation for the progress variable is...

in this study, a numerical simulation using the cfd software, fluent, has been conducted to examine the effect of various shapes of the venturi component sections in order to find the optimum venturi specifications to increase the egr rate with minimum pressure loss at the part load operation range. the cfd results reveal that the venturi should be precisely optimized to introduce the required ...

Spark-ignited internal combustion engines have evolved considerably in recent years in response to increasingly stringent regulations for emissions and fuel economy. One new advanced engine strategy ustilizes high levels of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to reduce combustion temperatures, thereby increasing thermodynamic efficiency and reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. While this strategy can...

NOx and soot emissions remain critical issues in diesel engines. One method to address these problems is to achieve homogeneous combustion at lower peak temperatures – the goal of research on controlled autoignition. In this paper n-heptane is used to represent a large hydrocarbon fuel and some of the effects of internal and external EGR, oxygen concentration, and engine speed on its combustion...

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 sin...
