TL;DR: The performance of a spark ignition engine using low heating value (LHV) gas generated in a fixed bed downdraft (co-current) gasifier, using agricultural and forestry residues was measured on a dynamometer test bench.
Abstract: The performance of a spark ignition engine using low heating value (LHV) gas generated in a fixed bed downdraft (co-current) gasifier, using agricultural and forestry residues was measured on a dynamometer test bench. The parameters measured include torque, power output, emissions measurement, exhaust gas temperature for both operation on gasoline and LHV gas. Improvements in hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions were obtained and the engine suffered less thermal stress under LHV gas operation. The power loss was relatively low, though the experimental arrangement restricted the power output at high throughputs of gas.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the response surface method (RSM) to analyze the performance and emissions of a port fuel injected gasoline engine burning different blends of fusel oil and gasoline under different loads (20, 40, 60, 80% and 100%) and a fixed engine speed of 2500 rpm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of soot was studied in an n-heptane fuelled homogeneous charge compression Ignition (HCCI) engine, operated at a rich equivalence ratio of 1.93.
Abstract: At the University of Cambridge, the formation of soot was studied in an n-heptane fuelled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine, operated at a rich equivalence ratio of 1.93, by means of in-cylinder snatch sampling as well as by applying a new engine model which features a highly detailed description of soot. This new computationally efficient model is capable of providing not only averaged quantities as functions of crank angle like soot mass, number density, volume fraction, aggregate diameter, and the number of primary particles per aggregate for example, but also aggregate and primary particle size distribution functions and additionally can give detailed information on aggregate morphology and chemical composition.
