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. Earlier post , earlier post.). An HCCI engine ignites a mixture of fuel and air by compressing it in the cylinder.

New technique for modeling auto-ignition characteristics of bioethanol-blended gasolines

Green Car Congress

Researchers at KAUST in Saudi Arabia, with colleagues from Saudi Aramco and the National University of Ireland Galway, have developed a new method for investigating the auto-ignition behavior of bioethanol-blended gasolines. Gasoline knock resistance can be increased using a number of blending components.

KAUST team proposes pine-tree derived terpineol as octane booster for gasoline

Green Car Congress

A team at the Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia, is proposing the use of terpineol as an octane booster for gasoline in a spark ignited (SI) engine. —Vallinayagam et al. The IQT results demonstrated a long ignition delay of 24.7

Study finds blending gasoline with GTL improves efficiency and lowers emissions in compression-ignition PPC mode

Green Car Congress

Interestingly, they observed, this benefit is notwithstanding the high aromaticity of the gasoline compared to GTL. What is more, there exist, in Europe at least, a surplus of gasoline, thereby partially compensating for both the limited availability of GTL as well as its relatively high cost price. 10, 20 and 50?vol.% 2018.02.111.
