A multi-component wide distillation fuel (covering gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel) mechanism for combustion and PAH prediction

TL;DR: In this paper, a reduced 11-component (n-heptane, iso-octane, toluene, ethanol, methanol, ndecane, n-dodecane and n-hexadecane) chemical mechanism consisting of 178 species and 758 reactions is proposed for combustion and soot formation predictions of wide distillation fuel (WDF) covering gasoline, jet and diesel fuels.

Simulation of a heavy-duty diesel engine with electrical turbocompounding system using operating charts for turbocharger components and power turbine

TL;DR: In this paper, the operational behavior of a heavy-duty diesel truck engine equipped with an electric turbocompounding system is examined on a theoretical basis, where the interaction between the power turbine and the turbocharged diesel engine is examined in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fuel-Saving Cruising Strategies for Parallel HEVs

TL;DR: The performance and optimal behavior of the engine and the motor are presented, and their fuel-saving mechanisms are explained, and two principles to compromise between fuel economy and ride comfort are proposed and studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study on RCCI (reactivity controlled compression ignition) engine by means of statistical experimental design

TL;DR: In this article, a more effective approach based on fractional factorial design was used to investigate the way that injection strategy might affect performance and emissions formation of RCCI (reactivity controlled compression ignition) engines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigating the reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion strategy in a natural gas/diesel fueled engine with a pre-chamber

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of using a pre-chamber to extend some operating ranges in a RCCI engine is investigated using coupled multidimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms.

High Combustion Temperature for the Reduction of Particulate in Diesel Engines

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature T and equivalence ratio Φ on soot formation at high pressures up to 5 MPa were investigated in a diesel engine and the trajectory in relation to both soot and NO formation region gives suggestion of a possibility of high temperature mixture combustion to reduce particulate formation in diesel engines.

Numerical study on the low emission window of homogeneous charge compression ignition diesel combustion

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study of the low emission window (lower than 10 grams/kg-f CO, 10g/kgf HC, 0.5 grams/ kg-f NO and almost soot-less) of diesel HCCI combustion was performed over wide ranges by changing equivalence ratio, inlet temperature, intake valve closure timing, engine speed and fuel amount.

Investigation of the Roles of Flame Propagation, Turbulent Mixing, and Volumetric Heat Release in Conventional and Low Temperature Diesel Combustion

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-mode combustion model that combines a comprehensive kinetics scheme for volumetric heat release and a level-set-based model for turbulent flame propagation is applied over the range of engine combustion regimes from non-premixed to premixed conditions.
