In the current study, an effort is carried out to study influence of pentanol as low reactive fuel (LRF) along with diesel and Thevetia peruviana methyl ester (TPME) high fuels (HRF) in reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine. The experiments are conducted on dual engine at 50% load for RCCI mode operation by varying percentage injected fuels. results revealed that 10% exhibite...

In this paper, Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) with an electrically-assisted turbocharger (E-turbo) is investigated. This a promising concept for future green transport, since it can realize very high thermal efficiencies wide range of renewable fuels. The combination RCCI E-turbo requires new approach to manage the energy flows engine due constraints on storage electrical ene...

This article demonstrates a feasible approach towards minimizing negative impact of combustion, which comprises low net carbon emissions operation internal combustion engines while achieving ultra-low engine-out exhaust emissions. Ultra-low emission was achieved by combining Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) concept and the use an advanced fuel mix featuring life cycle consists ...

Reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion showed great advantages in terms of engine-out NOx and soot emissions reduction. However, HC CO are larger than with conventional diesel combustion. Commercial oxidation catalysts can deal the amount generated during RCCI only at warm conditions, thus limiting implementation this concept vehicles hybrid applications due to large engin...

Abstract This study presents the optimization of intake manifold and optimized flow rate acetylene gas which acts as a low reactivity fuel to achieve superior performance emission characteristics used in Reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine. Intake is one engine components are an important factor determining quality combustion. A very recent evolution RCCI using temperature ...

This paper presents a review on the combustion mode design with high efficiency and low emissions controlled by fuel reactivity and mixture stratification that have been conducted in the authors’ group, including the charge reactivity controlled homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion, stratification controlled premixed charge compression ignition combustion, and dual-fuel com...
