Given diminishing fossil fuel resources and severe environmental pollution, governments
are strengthening their regulations regarding the exhaust emissions and fuel consumption of …

In this work, the diesel engine fueled with diesel/methanol/n-butanol blended fuel was
employed to investigate the effects of different fuel blending ratios on the spray, combustion …

In this paper, the effects of diesel/methanol, diesel/ethanol, diesel/n-butanol,
diesel/methanol/n-butanol, and diesel/ethanol/n-butanol blended fuels with different alcohol …

Natural gas engines often suffer from slow-burning rate and large cyclic variations, which
significantly affects engine performance and thermal efficiency. In this study, using an optical …

Experimental investigations on the cycle-to-cycle variations of early flame propagation were
conducted at two intake air swirl ratio of 0.55 and 5.68 in a single-cylinder spark-ignition …

Methanol, ethanol and methane are three kinds of common high-octane alternative fuels,
which are ideal fuels for SI engines with high compression ratio. High compression ratio …

Flash boiling occurs when liquid fuel is injected into an ambient environment below its
saturation pressure. Compared to non-flash-boiling (liquid) spray, flash-boiling spray …

Improving engine efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions are the everlasting pursuit for
engine researchers. While increasing tumble ratio of the engine intake airflow was shown to …

Increasing thermal efficiency and reducing cycle-to-cycle variations are the main challenges
for modern natural gas engines. In this study, the role of different spark-ignition methods in …

In this study, the characteristics of the cyclic variations of three different low-temperature
combustion modes including reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) …
