Abstract: The combustion process in spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI) engines plays a significant role in ascertaining engine performance, efficiency, and emissions. As the automotive industry faces challenges related ...

Abstract: Lean NOx trap (LNT) catalytic aftertreatment devices are one potential option for the reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust of compression ignition engines. They work through a controlled modulation between ...

Abstract: In this first paper, the authors undertake a review of the literature in the field of ozoneassisted combustion in order to summarize literature findings. The use of a detailed nheptane combustion model including ozone ...

Abstract: A typical monolithic catalyst consists of long, narrow, square channels containing a washcoat of catalytic material. While this geometry is the most common, other shapes may be better suited for particular applications. ...

Abstract: Modeling of engineout heat release (HR) is of great importance for engine combustion research. Variations in fuel properties bring about changing combustion behavior within the cylinder, which may be captured by modeling ...

Abstract: Climate change is driving the world to investigate alternative sources of fuel. In order to address any potential economic shortfalls to biodiesel, one can look to its by-product, glycerin, as a potential revenue source. ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the performance and emissions behavior of a high compression ratio compression ignition (CI) engine operating in partially premixed charge compression ignition (PPCI) mode, a series of experiments ...
