CHARACTERISTICS OF HOMOGENEOUS CHARGE COMPRESSION IGNITION (HCCI) COMBUSTION AND EMISSIONS OF n-HEPTANE

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Combustion Engine- A Review

At present, it is highly required from the automobile sector to develop clean technologies with lower fuel consumption for ambient air quality improvement, green house gas reduction and energy security. Furthermore, due to continuously stringent emission legislation and the fast depletion of the primary energy resources, the development of new highly efficient and environment friendly combustio...

Control of Homogeneous Charge Compression (HCCI) Ignition Engine Dynamics

The Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion concept lacks direct ignition timing control, instead the auto ignition depends on the operating condition. Since auto ignition of a homogeneous mixture is very sensitive to operating conditions, a fast combustion timing control is necessary for reliable operation. Hence, feedback is needed and the crank angle of 50% burnt (CA50) has...

Maximizing Power Output in Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engines and Enabling Effective Control of Combustion Timing By

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines are one of the most promising engine technologies for the future of energy conversion from clean, efficient combustion. HCCI engines allow high efficiency and lower CO 2 emission through the use of high compression ratios and the removal of intake throttle valves (like Diesel), and allow very low levels of urban pollutants like nitric oxide...

Numerical Investigation of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Combustion with Detailed Chemical Kinetics Using On-the-Fly Reduction

An on-the-fly mechanism reduction approach is employed in this paper to integrate detailed chemical kinetics with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The reduction methodology employs an instantaneous element flux analysis to identify redundant species and reactions for given local conditions. The emphasis of this work is focused on the numerical study of homogeneous charge compression i...
