Homogeneous charge compression ignition technology has exhibited high potential to reduce fuel consumption and NOx emissions over normal spark-ignition engines significantly. Optimized kinetic process technology is implemented to realize homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion in a port fuel injection gasoline engine. The combustion and emission characteristics are investigated with ...

Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) is one of the most promising solutions among low temperature combustion concepts, in terms thermal efficiency and pollutant emissions. However, for values brake mean effective pressure higher than 10 bar, in-cylinder peak rise rates tend to be too high, limiting specific power any 4-Stroke (4S) engine. Such a limitation can canceled by moving 2-...

This study investigates the effects of intermediate temperature heat release (ITHR) on autoignition reactivity full boiling range gasolines with different octane sensitivity through intake and simulated exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) sweeps in a homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine. To isolate ITHR effects, low was suppressed use high oxygen mole fraction. For quantification IT...

Abnormal combustion occurrences in compression ignition engines are one of the main causes of engine failures, which severely affect the continuity of transportation operations. The detection of these occurrences may help to take measures to minimize the engine failures and increase engine life. In this work, we implement a machine learning system for abnormal combustion detection system in a s...

The n-butanol/n-octanol fueled reactivity-controlled compression ignition engine was numerically studied based on the KIVA-CHEMKIN code. First, knocking combustion characteristics were analyzed while functioning with a premixed n-butanol percentage of 20% (B20), since it exhibited most severe knocking. Ten local regions monitored to obtain data, such as pressure and heat release rate. oscillati...

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is an advanced combustion concept that is developed as an alternative to diesel engines with higher thermal efficiency along with ultralow NOx and PM emissions. To study the performance of this novel technique, experiments were performed in a two cylinder engine, in which one cylinder is modified to operate in HCCI mode while other cylinder operate...

The reduction of pollutant emissions from internal combustion engines, and in particular greenhouse gases, must be achieved by optimizing the process choosing fuels with a low carbon impact. Heterogeneous mixture combustions such as Diesel induce difficulty managing pollutants formation even if its principle output efficiency remains favorable. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish this las...

A single-cylinder marine diesel engine was modified to be operated in reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion mode. The fueling system upgraded a common rail fuel injection system. Natural gas (NG) used as port injection, and diesel/sunflower methyl ester biodiesel mixture for direct injection. fraction of the changed from 0% (B0; 100% diesel) 5% (B5) 20% (B20) while keepin...

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...
