Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is widely used in advanced internal combustion engines to reduce engine emissions as well as control combustion phasing. Among various species present in EGR gases, CO₂ and H₂O are two major components that can thermally and chemically affect fuel autoignition. It is of fundamental interest to isolate the thermal and chemical effects of CO₂ and H₂O on fuel autoignition, especially as such an effort has not been reported in the literature. Moreover, nitric oxide (NO) is known to exhibit strong chemical effects on fuel autoignition, which in turn affects engine combustion phasing. The effects of ultra-low NO addition (< 100 ppm) on fuel autoignition at low temperatures are also not well understood. Recognizing these problems, autoignition experiments of iso-octane (a major gasoline surrogate component) in air are performed in this study using a rapid compression machine at varying compressed pressures, equivalence ratios, dilution levels with an EGR gas analogue (consisting of CO₂, H₂O, O₂, and N₂) and N₂ only, and varying amounts of NO addition. Furthermore, the thermal and chemical effects of the EGR gas analogue are isolated and evaluated by comparing the ignition delay time datasets of EGR and N2-only diluted cases.
