HCCI combustion has been drawing the considerable attention due to high efficiency and
lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions. However, there are still …

Due to concerns regarding the greenhouse effect and limitations on carbon dioxide
emissions, the possibility of a next-generation combustion mode for internal combustion …

Modelling the premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) engine requires a balanced
approach that captures both fluid motion as well as low-and high-temperature fuel oxidation …

The auto-ignition or anti-knock quality of a practical fuel is defined by the Octane Index,
OI=(1-K) RON+ KMON where RON and MON are the Research and Motor Octane numbers …

Autoignition of iso-octane was examined using a rapid compression facility (RCF) with iso-
octane, oxygen, nitrogen, and argon mixtures. The effects of typical homogeneous charge …

A combined experimental and modeling study has been conducted to investigate the
sources of CO and HC emissions (and the associated combustion inefficiencies) at low …

Chemiluminescence imaging has been applied to investigate the naturally occurring charge
stratification in an HCCI engine. This stratification slows the pressure-rise rate (PRR) during …

Strong interest in the use of coal-derived syngas in gas turbines has led to recent
experimental studies that highlight the important features of H2/CO combustion at high …

High-speed digital imaging has been used in rapid compression facility (RCF) studies to
investigate ignition phenomena of iso-octane/air mixtures. Sequential images were captured …

ABSTRACT A planar temperature imaging diagnostic has been developed and applied to
an investigation of naturally occurring thermal stratification in an HCCI engine. Natural …
