The homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion fueled by dimethyl ether (DME) and compressed natural gas (CNG) was investigated. The experimental work was carried out on a single-cylinder diesel engine. The results show that adjusting the proportions of DME and CNG is an effective technique for controlling HCCI combustion and extending the HCCI operating range. The combustion process of HCCI with dual fuel is characterized by a distinctive two-stage heat release process. As CNG flow rate increases, the magnitude of peak cylinder pressure and the peak heat release rate in the second stage goes up. As DME flow rate increases, the peak cylinder pressure, heat release rate, and NOx emissions increase while THC and CO emissions decrease.

A dual-fuel engine is a compression ignition (CI) engine where the primary gaseous fuel source is premixed with air as it enters the combustion chamber. This homogenous mixture is ignited by a small quantity of diesel, the ‘pilot’, that is injected towards the end of the compression stroke. In the present study, a direct-injection CI engine, was fuelled with three different gaseous fuels: methane, propane, and butane. The engine performance at various gaseous concentrations was recorded at 1500 r/min and quarter, half, and three-quarters relative to full a load of 18.7 kW. In order to investigate the combustion performance, a novel three-zone heat release rate analysis was applied to the data. The resulting heat release rate data are used to aid understanding of the performance characteristics of the engine in dual-fuel mode. Data are presented for the heat release rates, effects of engine load and speed, brake specific energy consumption of the engine, and combustion phasing of the three different primary gaseous fuels. Methane permitted the maximum energy substitution, relative to diesel, and yielded the most significant reductions in CO2. However, propane also had significant reductions in CO2 but had an increased diffusional combustion stage which may lend itself to the modern high-speed direct-injection engine.

Free Piston Engine

It has been shown that using fuel additives play an important role in enhancing the combustion characteristics in terms of efficiency and emissions. In addition, free piston engines have shown capable in reducing energy losses and presenting more efficient and reliable engines. In this context, the objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of using hydrogen as a fuel additive in natural gas homogeneous charge compression ignition free piston engine. To this aim, two models have been iteratively coupled: the combustion model that is used to calculate the heat release of the combustion and the scavenging model that is employed to determine the in-cylinder mixture state after scavenging in terms of its homogeneity and species mass fractions and to obtain the finial pressure and temperature of the in-cylinder mixture. In the former model, the 0-D approach through Cantera toolkit has been considered due to the fact that homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion is very rapid and the fuel-air mixture is well-homogenous, whereas in the latter model, 3-D-CFD approach through AN-SYS FLUENT software is considered to ensure precise calculations of the species exchange at the end of each engine cycle. The effect of hydrogen as a fuel additive has been quantified in terms of the combustion characteristics (e. g., ignition delay, heat release rate, engine overall efficiency and emissions, etc.). It has been shown that hydrogen addition reduces ignition delay time, decreases the in-cylinder peak pressure, while allowing the engine to operate with higher mechanical efficiency as it has high heat release rate, increases the NOx emission levels of the engine, but decreases the CO levels

Abstract Model-based control systems are drawing attention in relation to implementing next-generation combustion technologies with high thermal efficiency and low emissions, such as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) and premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion, which have low robustness. A model-based control system derives control inputs according to reference values and operating conditions during every cycle, and has potential to replace the conventional control map, which requires a large number of experiments. However, model-based control for engines requires reference values for combustion, such as heat release rate peak timing and heat release rate peak value; such values represent the combustion state. Therefore, the reference for the transient condition is important for utilizing the benefit of model-based control systems, given that such systems derive control outputs cycle by cycle. In this study, design method for the combustion reference values for the transient operating condition is described for advanced diesel combustion, which uses premixed compression ignition combustion shows multiple heat releases. Specifically, a method utilizing future operating conditions in consideration of the driving characteristics is proposed and compared in engine control experiments. The proposed method was evaluated under certain part of worldwide harmonized light vehicles test cycles (WLTC) mode considering real road conditions. Results showed that designing the combustion reference values for transient operation by considering future operating conditions is effective to ensure advanced combustion, and such method has the potential to consider the driving characteristics.

Gas Recycling

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is currently limited in application due to several key issues such as a narrow operating range, high hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions and lack of control over the onset of combustion. Exhaust gas recycling (EGR) has the potential to 1) provide reasonable control over the HCCI combustion process and 2) extend its operating range. In this paper, the effect of hot internal EGR on ignition timing and heat release rate of HCCI combustion fuelled with n-heptane has been investigated using the CHEMKIN 0-D closed combustion engine simulation package. An attempt has been made to study the effect of individual components of EGR on cylinder-temperature history and the rate of chemical reaction. The results indicate that combustion initiation is directly linked to the thermal energy contained in the hot EGR but the particular chemical species contained in the EGR have different influences towards ignition timing and heat release rate. This theoretical study would be substantiated by experimental work in the near future.
