Abstract
Spark-assisted compression ignition (SACI) is a potential way to improve thermal efficiency for gasoline engine with a relatively low compression ratio. The dual-injection system and spark strategy are considered to be an effective approach to control the combustion of SACI engine. Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODE) is a potential fuel for carbon neutral with high oxygen content and unique molecule structure. In this study, the transition of combustion modes with different equivalence ratio and effects of direct injection (DI) ratio on SACI combustion and emissions fueled with PODE/gasoline under different loads were investigated. The results showed that SACI combustion could be achieved with the compression ratio of 13 and the brake thermal efficiencies (BTEs) at 2 bar, 3 bar and 4 bar under the dual-fuel SACI were increased by 49%, 29% and 27%, respectively, compared with the gasoline spark ignition mode. The increase in DI ratio first shortened the combustion duration and then prolonged. An appropriate DI ratio was shown to control the combustion process to achieve high efficiency combustion, at which Low THC, CO and PM emissions were achieved while the NOx emissions remained at a low level.
期刊介绍:
The main aims of Thermal Science
to publish papers giving results of the fundamental and applied research in different, but closely connected fields:
fluid mechanics (mainly turbulent flows), heat transfer, mass transfer, combustion and chemical processes
in single, and specifically in multi-phase and multi-component flows
in high-temperature chemically reacting flows
processes present in thermal engineering, energy generating or consuming equipment, process and chemical engineering equipment and devices, ecological engineering,
The important characteristic of the journal is the orientation to the fundamental results of the investigations of different physical and chemical processes, always jointly present in real conditions, and their mutual influence. To publish papers written by experts from different fields: mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and related fields. To inform international scientific community about the recent, and most prominent fundamental results achieved in the South-East European region, and particularly in Serbia, and - vice versa - to inform the scientific community from South-East European Region about recent fundamental and applied scientific achievements in developed countries, serving as a basis for technology development. To achieve international standards of the published papers, by the engagement of experts from different countries in the International Advisory board.
