A new methodology for predicting the real instantaneous in-cylinder volume in the
combustion chamber of a reciprocating internal combustion engine is implemented. The …

Diesel engine manufacturers strive towards further efficiency improvements. Thus, reducing
in-cylinder heat losses is becoming increasingly important. Understanding how location …

This research will demonstrate that Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) has
several advantages over other LTC concepts in regards to fuel flexibility and combustion …

In a recent study, quantitative measurements were presented of in-cylinder spatial
distributions of mixture equivalence ratio in a single-cylinder light-duty optical diesel engine …

Heat losses are known to decrease the efficiency of CI engines largely. Here, multiple
injectors have been suggested to shrink these losses through reduction of spray wall …

The blending of ethanol with primary reference fuel (PRF) mixtures comprising n-heptane
and iso-octane is known to exhibit a non-linear octane response; however, the underlying …

Frequently the question arises in what sense numerical simulation can be considered
predictive if prior model tuning with test results is necessary. In this paper a summary of the …

Optical engines allow for the direct visualization of the phenomena taking place in the
combustion chamber and the application of optical techniques for combustion analysis …

Ignition (HCCI)/Low-Temperature Gasoline Combustion (LTGC) engine testing facility. A
previously presented framework for quantifying those uncertainties developed uncertainty …

Earlier studies on efficiency improvement in CI engines have suggested that heat transfer
losses contribute largely to the total energy losses. Fuel impingement on the cylinder walls is …
