Fuel effects in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines
… (HCCI) combustion is a new method of burning fuel in internal combustion (IC) engines. In an HCCI engine, the fuel and air are premixed prior to combustion, like in a spark-ignition (SI) engine. However, rather than using a spark to initiate combustion, the mixture is ignited through …

Modeling of biofuel-diesel multi-component fuel effects on vaporization, micro-explosion and combustion
In the effort to reduce air pollution and fossil fuel dependence in automotive and related sectors, internal combustion engine (ICE) designs are optimized for high efficiency and low pollutant emissions, and alternative biofuels are used in ICE mixing with conventional petroleum based fuels. One …

The HCCI Fuel Number - Measuring and Describing Auto-ignition for HCCI Combustion Engines
… an advanced combustion concept, using premixed fuel and air with a diluted charge. This is thermodynamically favorable, leading to high efficiency and therefore lower CO2 emissions. The well-premixed and diluted fuel charge gives lower cylinder temperatures than conventional diesel compression …

Effects of Fuel Molecular Structure and Composition on Soot Formation in Direct-Injection Spray Flames
… have been conducted to determine the effect of fuel composition and molecular structure on particulate emissions using exhaust gas analysis, but relatively few measurements have been obtained in-cylinder or under conditions where fuel effects can be isolated from other variables. In this work, …

Turbulent flame propagation characteristics of high hydrogen content fuels
… capable of operating with a wide range of fuel compositions. One method to decrease the carbon footprint of modern combustors is the use of high hydrogen content (HHC) fuels. The objective of this research is to develop tools to better understand the physics of turbulent flame propagation …
