2 Abstract`A three-dimensional reacting flow modeling approach is presented for predictions of compression ignition, combustion, NOx and soot emissions over a wide range of operating conditions in a diesel engine. The ignition/combustion model is based on a modified eddy dissipation concept (EDC) which has been implemented into the KIVA 3V engine simulation code. The modified EDC model is used ...

In this study, the influence air fuel ratio and injection timing on the engine performance of 4-cylinder direct injection hydrogen fueled engine was investigated. The effect of air fuel ratio (AFR) and engine speed on optimum injection timing is presented. The 4-cylinder direct injection hydrogen engine model was developed utilizing the GTPower commercial software. This model employed one dimen...

Goaf Frictional Ignition (GFI) poses a serious threat to the safety of underground coal mines, and has caused many underground fires and catastrophic explosions. This paper examined occurrences of GFI incidents and the underlying mechanisms of ignition source and environment. Most of these incidents were attributed to rock on rock frictional ignition. The eventuation of frictional ignition reli...

Non-photospheric-radius-expansion (non-PRE) double-peaked bursts may be explained in terms of spreading (and temporary stalling) of thermonuclear flames on the neutron star surface, as we argued in a previous study of a burst assuming polar ignition. Here we analyze Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) Proportional Counter Array (PCA) data of such a burst (but with a considerably different intens...
