At present achieving fuel economy and reducing emissions are the two main targets set by
the automotive industries. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) technology is …

Analytical functions approximating the burn rate in internal combustion engines are useful
and cost-effective tools for engine cycle simulations. Most functions proposed to date are …

This study presents a review of the heat transfer treatment in HCCI phenomenological
simulation models, including single-zone and multi-zone ones. Heat transfer within the …

HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) has been touted for many years as the
alternate technology of choice for future engines, preserving the inherent efficiency of CIDI …

Single-zone Wiebe-function HCCI combustion models tend to over-predict the peak cylinder
pressure. The over-prediction arises because it is not possible for the standard Wiebe …

The heat transfer from the bulk gases to the combustion chamber walls has a strong effect
on the combustion and emission formation process in an HCCI engine. In this work, the …

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a novel combustion strategy for IC
engines that exhibits dramatic decreases in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions …

This book presents analytical and experimental methods and achievements in design,
modeling and control of automotive propulsion systems. The text presents a systems view on …

An investigation was conducted to examine the effects of key parameters such as intake
temperature, equivalence ratio, engine load, intake pressure, spark timing and spring …

The use of natural gas (NG) in heavy-duty internal combustion engines can reduce the
dependence on petroleum fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Diesel engines can …
