An experimental study is performed for homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion focusing on late phasing conditions with high cyclic variability (CV) approaching misfire. High CV limits the feasible operating range and objective to understand quantify dominating effects of in order enable controls widening HCCI. A analysis method developed explaining dynamic coupling sequences cycles where important variables are residual gas temperature, efficiency, heat release during...

Increased residual levels in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines employing valve strategies such as recompression or negative overlap (NVO) imply that accurate estimation of gas fraction (RGF) is critical for cylinder pressure heat release analysis. The objective the present work was to evaluate three methods and assess their suitability under naturally aspirated boosted HCCI operating conditions: (i) simple state equation method employs ideal law at exhaust closing (EVC);...

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) has the potential to reduce both fuel consumption and NOx emissions compared normal spark-ignited (SI) combustion. For a relatively low ratio engine, high unburned temperatures are needed initiate HCCI combustion, which is achieved with large amounts of internal residual or by heating intake charge. The amount in combustion chamber controlled recompression valve strategy, relies on negative overlap (NVO) trap gases cylinder. A single-cylinder...

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) offers great potential for improved fuel economy and dramatically reduced NOx emissions, compared to typical spark (SI) combustion. However, the benefits of HCCI are limited low medium loads by simultaneous occurrence combustion instability knock at a maximum load that is too conventional SI To provide smooth operation in intermediate range between requires alternative strategies. One such strategy spark-assisted (SACI), which uses plug initiate...

Engine induced swirl improves mixing of fuel and air at optimal values accelerates burn, the combustion stability can decrease particulate matter (PM). However, increases convective heat loss cylinder charge could increase nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. High intensity impede flame development emissions total hydrocarbons (THC) carbon monoxide (CO). Therefore, careful smart selection is paramount in order to obtain beneficial impact on performance. This study conducted a 0.5L single...
