Abstract: Lean and dilute gasoline compression ignition (GCI) operation in spark ignition (SI) engines are an attractive strategy to attain high fuel efficiency and low NOx levels. However, this combustion mode is often limited to ...

Abstract: A mixture of ndodecane and mxylene is investigated as a diesel fuel surrogate for compression ignition (CI) engine applications. Compared to neat ndodecane, this binary mixture is more representative of diesel fuel because ...

Abstract: A numerical approach was developed based on multidimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to predict knocking combustion in a cooperative fuel research (CFR) engine. G-equation model was employed to track the turbulent ...

Abstract: The stiffness of large chemistry mechanisms has been proved to be a major hurdle toward predictive engine simulations. As a result, detailed chemistry mechanisms with a few thousand species need to be reduced based on ...

Abstract: In the present work, a central fuel property hypothesis (CFPH), which states that fuel properties are sufficient to provide an indication of a fuel’s performance irrespective of its chemical composition, was numerically ...

Abstract: The minimization of auto-ignition risk is critical to the design of premixers of high power aeroderivative gas turbines as an increased use of highly reactive future fuels (for example, hydrogen or higher hydrocarbons) is ...

Abstract: Growing environmental concerns and demand for a better fuel economy are driving forces that motivate the research for more advanced engines. Multi-mode combustion strategies have gained attention for their potential to ...
