Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of development and challenges in hydrogen powered vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that hydrogen has the potential to be the sustainable fuel of the future, decrease the global dependence on fossil fuel resources, and lower the pollutant emissions from the transportation industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of fuel composition on combustion and emissions characteristics of natural gas/diesel RCCI engine
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of natural gas composition and engine speed on combustion and emissions characteristics of an RCCI engine fuelled with natural gas/diesel at engine medium load of 9 bar indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of hydrogen enriched natural gas in spark ignition IC engines: from fundamental fuel properties to engine performances and emissions
TL;DR: A comprehensive survey of recent studies on the power, efficiency and combustion and emission characteristics of HCNG engines is provided in this article, where the physicochemical properties of hydrogen and its mixture with natural gas are analyzed, followed by detailed presentation and analysis of notable experimental results on HCNG engine performances.

Metal-water combustion for clean propulsion and power generation
Jeffrey M. Bergthorson,Yinon Yavor,Jan Palecka,William Georges,Michael Soo,James Vickery,Samuel Goroshin,David L. Frost,Andrew J. Higgins +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current state of knowledge of both low-temperature and high-tremeperature metal-water reactions and propose several applications of high temperature metal water combustion that allow the full chemical energy within the metal fuel to be harnessed, including high speed air-breathing engines and high power, compact, low emissions power generation systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct numerical simulations of the ignition of lean primary reference fuel/air mixtures with temperature inhomogeneities
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fuel composition, thermal stratification, and turbulence on the ignition of lean homogeneous primary reference fuel (PRF)/air mixtures under the conditions of constant volume and elevated pressure are investigated by direct numerical simulations.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical study on the low emission window of homogeneous charge compression ignition diesel combustion
Sungwook Park,Rolf D. Reitz +1 more
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
Sage L. Kokjohn,Rolf D. Reitz +1 more
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.
