Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition of Methane
Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition of Methane Alternative to traditional spark and compression-ignition engines Low combustion temperatures Low levels of NOx emissions Homogeneous nature of the fuel Low levels of particulate matter One important issue, timing of the ignition Examine the HCCI of methane Import data from CHEMKIN Kinetics and Thermo input files Calculate the mass and energy balances Solve for different initial temperatures Investigate the effect of Formaldehyde on the ignition
Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition of Methane Pressure traces from compression and ignition using different initial temperatures Small amounts of formaldehyde stimulate the ignition
