In this research, combustion characteristics of gasoline compression ignition engines have been analyzed numerically and experimentally with the aim of expanding the high load operation limit. The mechanism limiting high load operation under homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion was clarified. It was confirmed that retarding the combustion timing from top dead center (TDC) is an effective way to prevent knocking. However, with retarded combustion, combustion timing is substantially influenced by cycle-to-cycle variation of in-cylinder conditions. Therefore, an ignition timing control method is required to achieve stable retarded combustion. Using numerical analysis, it was found that ignition timing control could be achieved by creating a fuel-rich zone at the center of the cylinder. The fuel-rich zone works as an ignition source to ignite the surrounding fuel-lean zone. In this way, combustion consists of two separate auto-ignitions and is thus called two-step combustion. In the simulation, the high load operation limit was expanded using two-step combustion. An engine system identical to a direct-injection gasoline (DIG) engine was then used to validate two-step combustion experimentally. An air-fuel distribution was created by splitting fuel injection into first and second injections. The spark plug was used to ignite the first combustion. This combustion process might better be called spark-ignited compression ignition combustion (SI-CI combustion). Using the spark plug, stable two-step combustion was achieved, thereby validating a means of expanding the operation limit of gasoline compression ignition engines toward a higher load range.

Miscibility of methanol in mineral diesel and stability of methanol–diesel blends are the main obstacles faced in the utilization of methanol in compression ignition engines. In this experimental study, combustion, performance, emissions, and particulate characteristics of a single-cylinder engine fueled with MD10 (10% v/v methanol blended with 90% v/v mineral diesel) and MD15 (15% v/v methanol blended with 85% v/v mineral diesel) are compared with baseline mineral diesel using a fuel additive (1-dodecanol). The results indicated that methanol blending with mineral diesel resulted in superior combustion, performance, and emission characteristics compared with baseline mineral diesel. MD15 emitted lesser number of particulates and NOx emissions compared with MD10 and mineral diesel. This investigation demonstrated that methanol–diesel blends stabilized using suitable additives can resolve several issues of diesel engines, improve their thermal efficiency, and reduce NOx and particulate emissions simultaneously.

Partially Premixed

In this world, the population is increased and the number of vehicles increased. Not only population the pollution is increased lot by vehicles in the world harmful pollutant is realized from the vehicles like CO, HC, NOx and smoke particulates. It is inevitable to find some new technology, which increases the better performance and emission characteristics. Partially premixed compression ignition (PCCI) is the best technology for the reducing of harmful pollution in the vehicle, which uses the diesel as fuel it, gives the advantages of both CI and SI engine. This paper investigates the performance and emission characteristics of partially premixed diesel engine. Diesel engine has two injectors of port fuel injector (PFI) and direct injector (DI) to inject the fuel in different timing and electrical control unit (ECU) passes the power to PFI; it can control the injection timing and increases the fuel content from the fuel pump. The main aim in this paper is studied is effect of partially premixed ratio, performance of engine and emission characteristics of diesel engine

Homogeneous Charge

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), also known as controlled autoignition (CAI) or the premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) engine concept, has the potential to be highly efficient and to produce low NOx, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter emissions. However, it experiences problems with cold start in a gasoline HCCI engine, running at idle and at high loads, which, together with controlling the combustion over the entire speed/load range, limits its practical application. A way to overcome these problems is to operate the engine in ‘hybrid mode’, where the engine operates in HCCI mode at low, medium, and cruising loads and can switch to or from spark ignition (SI) or diesel (CI) mode for a cold start, idle, and higher loads. Such an engine will have frequent changes in engine load and speeds and therefore frequent transitions between HCCI and SI combustion modes. The valvetrain and engine management system (EMS) have to provide a successful control of HCCI mode and a fast and smooth transition keeping all relevant engine parameters within an acceptable range. Consequently, this leads to high demands on the valvetrain and therefore a need for a very high degree of flexibility. The aim of this paper is to present the potential of a fully variable valvetrain (FVVT) system, the Lotus active valvetrain (AVT™), for controlling HCCI combustion and enabling fast and smooth mode transitions in a HCCI/SI engine fuelled with commercially available gasoline (95 RON) and in a HCCI/DI engine fuelled with diesel (50 CN) fuel.
