A mathematical engine model is developed in this paper to study the operation process in HCCI engines. Isooctane is used as fuel for testing in this model. Two-step reaction mechanisms are implemented to model combustion process and heat transfer process is also included. Results from this model show good correlation with experiment with respect to combustion phasing, pressure rise and peak pre...

Due to the serious issues caused by air pollution and global warming, emission regulations are becoming stricter. New technologies that reduce NOx and PM emissions are needed. To cope with these social exhaust gas regulation demands, many advanced countries are striving to develop eco-friendly vehicles in order to respond to stricter emissions regulations. The homogeneous charged compression ig...

This paper simulates the density and temperature fields in the process of mixture formation with two combustion modes in a Diesel engine. The computational simulations and experiments show that in the normal combustion mode, the density and temperature of mixtures change greatly in the combusting sprays so that there are premixed combustion and diffusion combustion simultaneously, which results...

homogenous charge compression ignition (hcci) engines hold promise of high fuel efficiency and low emission levels for future green vehicles. but in contrast to gasoline and diesel engines, hcci engines suffer from lack of having direct means to initiate combustion. a combustion timing controller with robust tracking performance is the key requirement to leverage hcci application in production ...

New combustion concepts developed in internal combustion engines such as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) have attracted serious attention due to the possibilities to simultaneously achieve higher efficiency and lower emissions, which will impact the environment positively. The HCCI combustion concept has potential of ultra-low NOX and particulate matter (PM) emission in compariso...

the hcci combustion process is initiated due to auto-ignition of fuel/air mixture which is dominated by chemical kinetics and therefore fuel composition has a significant effect on engine operation and a detailed reaction mechanism is essential to analysis hcci combustion. a single zone-model permits to have a detailed chemical kinetics modeling for practical fuels. in this study a single-zone ...

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion enables higher thermal efficiency and lower NOx emission to be achieved in internal combustion engines compared to conventional combustion systems. A new concept HCCI engine system fueled with dimethyl ether (DME) with a high cetane number and methanol-reformed gas (MRG) with high anti-knock properties has been proposed by the author et ...

Introduction In order to overcome the pollutant emission limitations the use of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) mode must be considered in direct injection diesel engine using biodiesel fuel. HCCI mode reduces PM and NOx emissions without penalize the performances [1]. This occurs because the combustion develops with low temperature and burns a premixed air/fuel mixture. Biodiese...
