Investigation of the Effect of Fuel Reactivity on Dual-Fuel PCI Combustion

Article Preview

Abstract:

The potential of controlling premixed compression ignition (PCI) combustion by two fuels with different ignitability and volatility was studied numerically by a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The results indicate that the addition of gasoline to diesel fueled PCI engine can retard the ignition timing, lower the in-cylinder temperature, and reduce the exhaust emissions.
