This paper presents a modeling study of a CNG Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine using single-zone and multi-zone combustion models. Authors' developed code could be able to predict engine combustion and performance parameters in closed part of the engine cycle. As detailed chemical kinetics is necessary to investigate combustion process in HCCI engines, therefore, GRI-m...

It is a well known fact that, dual fuel engines at part loads, inevitably suffer lower thermal efficiency, higher carbon monoxide and unburned fuel emission. The work in this paper is to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (diesel-gas) engine at part loads, using a single zone combustion model with detailed chemical kinetics for combustion of natural gas fuel. The authors deve...

The Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition is an alternative combustion technology that can reduce automobile pollution, provided that the exhaust emission can be controlled. A parametric study can be useful in order to gain more understanding in the emission reduction possibilities via this new combustion technology. For this purpose, the inlet temperature, the equivalence ratio and the compr...

The influences of different diesel/biodiesel blends and EGR rate on brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), exhaust gas temperature, NO, HC, CO emissions, are studied and demonstrated. In this paper a four stroke direct injection, water cooled, diesel engine was used. Biodiesel either in neat form or as a blend with diesel fuel is extensively investigated to solve the twin problem of reduction ...

The paper presents the results of modelling thermal cycle of internal combustion engine including exhaust gas recirculation. The test engine can not achieve the optimum parameters of work due to occurrence of the knock combustion. The influence of EGR on the limits of the knock occurrence in the engine was studied. It turned out that few percent of exhaust gases in the fresh charge effectively ...

Water electrolyzed hydroxyl gas (HHO or Brown gas) and compressed natural (CNG) are the important promising alternatives to pure fossil fuels. The global concern is about GHG emission in environment ambient air pollution steered by mass consumption of fuels automobile industries power sectors. In this study, combustion, performance characteristics HHO CNG mixtures supplied intake manifold compr...

In order to directly control the premixed combustion phasing, a Jet Controlled Compression Ignition (JCCI) for diesel premixed compression ignition systems is investigated. Experiments were conducted on a single cylinder natural aspirated diesel engine without EGR at 3000 rpm. Numerical models were validated by load sweep experiments at fixed spark timing. Detailed combustion characteristics we...

A numerical study on Nox emission from an industrial furnace utilizing high temperature air combustion (HTAC) technology was done. The basic concept of the regenerative burner including heating a diluting of fresh air by flue gas was implemented in a two-dimensional furnace model. Governing equations in conjunction with a turbulence model and an overall chemistry model were solved using an impl...
