Visualization study on lean combustion characteristics of the premixed methanol by the jet ignition of an ignition chamber

TL;DR: In this paper, a shadowgraph method was applied to investigate the jet flow, ignition, flame propagation, and burning processes of a premixed methanol mixture, and a proper channel diameter between the ignition chamber and main chamber, and equivalent ratio in the main chamber were selected to study the ignition and combustion characteristics.

CFD Study of Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) Combustion in a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study is carried out to investigate the combustion and emission characteristics of reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion mode in a heavy-duty, single-cylinder diesel engine with gasoline and diesel fuels using KIVA-CHEMKIN code with a reduced primary reference fuel (PRF) mechanism.

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether 3 (PODE3) as an alternative fuel to reduce aerosol pollution

TL;DR: In this paper, a polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether 3 (PODE3) is added to diesel in an engine to evaluate its practicality in terms of curbing aerosol pollution arising from diesel engines, as well as improving energy efficiency for easing global energy shortage.

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.
