Valve and fueling strategy for operating a controlled auto-ignition four-stroke internal combustion engine
TL;DR: In this article, a four-stroke internal combustion engine with split-injection fuel control and a single-injection fuel control is designed to achieve an acceptable combustion stability and emissions at an optimal fuel economy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing the thermal sensitivity of a gasoline homogeneous charge compression ignition engine with measurements of instantaneous wall temperature and heat flux
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study was performed to provide qualitative and quantitative insight into the thermal effects on a gasoline-fuelled homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine combustion, and two parameters determining thermal conditions in the cylinder, i.e. intake charge temperature and wall temperature, were considered and their effect on ignition and burning rate in an HCCI engine was investigated through systematic experimentation.
