In this paper, a numerical study is performed to provide the combustion and emission characteristics resulting from fuel-reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion mode in a heavy-duty, single-cylinder diesel engine with gasoline and diesel fuels. In RCCI strategy in-cylinder fuel blending is used to develop fuel reactivity gradients in the combustion chamber that result in a ...

During a fuel injection cycle pressure inside Combination Electronic Unit Pump (CEUP) fuel injection system varies from low (~50 bars) to very high (~1500 bars) in fractions of seconds depending on the operating conditions. Physical properties of fuel including density, acoustic wave speed and bulk modulus also vary as a function of rapidly varying fuel pressure. A detailed analysis of these ke...

Because of high pressure fluctuations in Combination Electronic Unit Pump (CEUP) system during fuel injection cycles, physical properties of diesel fuel including density, acoustic wave speed and bulk modulus also vary. These physical properties of fuel have significant importance in predicting the fuel injection behavior and its optimization. A 1D viscous damped mathematical model of wave equa...

the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of injection parameters on a heavy duty diesel engine performance and emission characteristics. in order to analyze the injection and spray characteristics of diesel fuel with employing high-pressure common-rail injection system, the injection characteristics such as injection delay, injection duration, injection rate, number of nozzle hole...

In order to improve the accuracy of electronic fuel injection (EFI) engine fuel pump pressure, according to the characteristics of pump directly driven by motor, a nonlinear mathematical model is built for the fuel supply system of EFI engine pressure control. And then, the nonlinear-function-optimized flow signal is introduced to adjust the parameters of nonlinear function. With the PI control...

Variation of fuel properties occurring during extreme fuel pressurisation in Diesel fuel injectors relative to those under atmospheric pressure and room temperature conditions may affect significantly fuel delivery, fuel injection temperature, injector durability and thus engine performance. Indicative results of flow simulations during the full injection event of a Diesel injector are presente...

A series of static hybrid rocket firings were done in a laboratory scale motor using paraffin wax fuel with gaseous oxygen and nitrous oxide oxidizers. A five element swirl injector was used to inject the oxidizer at the head end of the motor. A pyrotechnic igniter was used to initiate the combustion. The combustion of fuel grain was carried out for a fixed duration and at different oxidizer in...
