Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, led by Dr. Rolf Reitz, are investigating a blended dual-fuel (gasoline and diesel) concept to extend the operating range of partially premixed charge compression ignition combustion by using the varying fuel reactivity of the charge blend, which is determined in real time.

Researchers believe the concept will become more valuable in the next decade, as electronic devices migrate closer and closer to human skin. James Pikul, University of Wisconsin, Madison Djenizian is part of a group that published a paper in February in the journal Advanced Materials Technologies on a stretchable lithium-ion wire battery.

The K6 engine represents a unique combination of previous concepts. In addition, many new engine concepts require some really special parts to function, often so “special” that they can’t be made in reality or can’t be manufactured in mass quantities. —Tim Shedd.

The response has been to increase engine complexity with the solutions that designers are coming up with—for example, charge compression ignition, either homogeneous or partially premixed, or new dual fuels concepts. We’re starting to see another layer of complexity. Too much time is spent generating CFD meshes. Click to enlarge.

RAPTR is being designed to investigate R egenerative A ir P reheating and T hermochemical R ecuperation concepts for reducing losses from combustion irreversibility. The modified approach incorporates two main concepts— Regenerative Air Preheating (RAP) and Thermochemical Recuperation (TR)—resulting in the acronym RAPTR. Stuart Daw.

One high-efficiency combustion concept under investigation is gasoline compression ignition (GCI)—the use of gasoline-like fuels to deliver very low NO x and PM emissions as well as high efficiency in a diesel compression ignition engine. Earlier post.) Kalghatgi, G., Risberg, P., and Ångström, H.
