This study couples a crank-angle resolved exergy analysis methodology with a multi-zone chemical kinetic model of a gasoline-fueled HCCI engine to quantify exergy loss mechanisms and understand how the losses change with different HCCI engine operating conditions. The in-cylinder exergy loss...

The Government of India has recently announced the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan, which sets ambitious targets for electric vehicle deployment in India. One important barrier to substantial market penetration of EVs in India is the impact that large numbers of EVs will have on an...

This study explores optimal operating conditions for power generation from wet ethanol in a HCCI engine using exhaust gas heat recovery. Wet ethanol is a difficult fuel to ignite as it requires high compressed gas temperatures to achieve ignition causing the requirement for substantial intake...

This study explores the use of wet ethanol as a fuel for HCCI engines while using exhaust heat recovery to provide the high input energy required for igniting wet ethanol. Experiments were conducted on a 4-cylinder Volkswagen engine modified for HCCI operation and retrofitted with an exhaust gas...

The majority of transportation-related CO2 growth will come from the developing world with projections suggesting that global CO2 emissions from transportation will at least double by 2050. Given that China will be a leading contributor to this growth in transportation-related CO2, this paper...
