TLDR

In this paper, n-butanol PFI was investigated in a direct injection compression ignition engine while at idling speeds, and loads, 1-3 bar IMEP (indicated mean effective pressure) in order to determine the effects on combustion, efficiency, emissions, and specifically, a modified tradeoff of soot and nitrogen oxides.

Fuel

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of low-reactivity fuel and direct injection timing on combustion and flame characteristics in a dual-fuel engine under low load conditions were investigated, and it was shown that a more homogeneous combustion process and slower flame propagation occur, ultimately reducing the combustion intensity, cylinder pressure, and peak apparent heat release rate.

Numerical Simulation of a Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition Engine in order to Investigate the Effects of Adding Water to Low Reactivity Fuel

Saleh Talesh Amiri, +3 more

TL;DR: In this paper , the influence of adding water to a Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) engine has been numerically investigated, and the results show that substituting a portion of gasoline fuel with water, up to 10% mass fraction, raises the combustion chamber pressure.
