The paper is focused on the development of a fractal combustion model, included within a
whole-engine onedimensional model (1Dime code). An extensive validation is carried out …

This paper proposed a feasible method for estimating the turbulent burning velocity of
gasoline/hydrogen blends in a spark-ignited (SI) engine based on the cumulative heat …

Factors influencing the effect of pilot-injection on main-injection combustion were
investigated using heat release analysis in a heavy-duty diesel engine fuelled with standard …

The combustion propagation and burned-gas expansion processes in a bi-fuel CNG SI
engine were characterized by applying a newly developed diagnostic tool, in order to better …

An experimental investigation and a burning-rate analysis have been performed on a
production 1.4 liter compressed natural gas (CNG) engine fueled with methane-hydrogen …

The current pollutant regulations and policies have set the need to consider the use of
alternative fuels capable of complying with the emission limits still retaining appreciable …

This study proposes an efficient and accurate methodology that combines detailed chemical
kinetics with a validated multi-zone thermodynamic model to calculate the emissions of a …

An experimental investigation of fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and heat release was
performed on a prototype 1.2 liter 4 cylinder turbocharged CNG engine, which has been …

Factors influencing pilot-injection combustion were investigated using heat release analysis
in a heavy-duty diesel engine fuelled with standard diesel fuel. Combinations of pilot …

The heat release analysis has proved to be a powerful diagnostic tool for the analysis of the
combustion process in spark ignition engines. Still, a fine tuning of the heat transfer …
