HCCI Combustion Fundamentals: In-Cylinder Diagnostics and Kinetic-Rate Computations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:827900

Substantial progress has been made in reducing emissions and improving the performance of Diesel engines. Appears to be a lower limit for engine-out NOX of about 1 g/hp-hr. Serious difficulty in meeting Tier II or newly proposed H-D standards. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is an alternative IC engine combustion process that has the potential to: Provide diesel-like or higher efficiencies. Very low engine-out NOX due to low combustion temperatures. Very low particulate (PM) emissions. HCCI engine combustion is not well understood, and research is required to resolve technical barriers, including:
