In the Tianjin study, the team explored the impact of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rates from 0% to 15% and compression ratios (CRs) of 8, 9, and 10 on the combustion characteristics and emission performance of 2-methylfuran (MF) and gasoline. —Pan et al. 2014.04.054.

A low effective CR can reduce the end-gas temperature and, consequently, the Miller cycle can suppress knock. The researchers used a Ricardo E6 4-stroke SI engine in the study, with a swept volume of 0.5 However, engine knocking, which is a serious hindrance in achieving a high thermal efficiency, is likely to occur. —Wei et al.
