Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation on the Dual Fuel Combustion of Gasoline and CNG by Compression Ignition

Abstract: Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a combustion process that promises the combination of diesel like efficiencies and very low NOx emissions. The major issues with HCCI are high heat release rates, lack of combustion control and high CO and HC emissions. Operating HCCI with two fuels of different properties and recirculation of exhaust gases are effective strategies of promoting and controlling autoignition. This study discusses the effects of EGR on the combustion characteristics of dual fuel HCCI of gasoline and CNG. The results show that EGR retards ignition timing, affects thermal efficiency and reduces heat release rates.
