Extending low-load limit of HCCI through adjusting two fuel injection parameters

Green Car Congress

Although HCCI combustion offers significant efficiency improvements compared to conventional spark ignition gasoline engines, traditional HCCI combustion can be realized only in a limited operating range. An HCCI engine ignites a mixture of fuel and air by compressing it in the cylinder. Earlier post , earlier post.). and Assanis, D.

MIT engineers develop process that can treat produced water from gas wells at relatively low cost

Green Car Congress

A new desalination process developed by engineers at MIT could treat produced water—deep water, often heavily laden with salts and minerals—from natural gas wells at relatively low cost. The research is the work of a team including MIT postdoc Prakash Narayan, mechanical engineering professor John H. John, Syed M.
