Analysis of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engines for Cogeneration Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation of the applicability of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines for small-scale cogeneration (<1MWe) in comparison to five previously analyzed ...
Improving Ethanol Life Cycle Energy Efficiency by Direct Utilization of Wet Ethanol in HCCI Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a new engine technology with fundamental differences over conventional engines. HCCI engines are intrinsically fuel flexible and can run on low-grade ...
Thermodynamic Analysis of Zero-Atmospheric Emissions Power Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical thermodynamic analysis of a zero-atmospheric emissions power plant. In this power plant, methane is combusted with oxygen in a gas generator to produce the ...
Thermal Charge Conditioning for Optimal HCCI Engine Operation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work investigates a purely thermal control system for HCCI engines, where thermal energy from exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and compression work in the supercharger are either recycled ...
A Coal-Fired Power Plant With Zero-Atmospheric Emissions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the thermodynamic and cost analysis of a coal-based zero-atmospheric emissions electric power plant. The approach involves an oxygen-blown coal gasification unit. The resulting ...
