Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition with Normal Paraffins, Branched-chain Paraffins and Aromatics Combined Fuels, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Vahid (Supervisor) ; Mozafari, Ali Asghar (Supervisor)
Abstract
The purpose of this dissertation is to experimentally and numerically investigate the effect of molecular structure, composition, and physical and chemical properties of fuel on HCCI combustion. A well-equipped laboratory was set up to perform the required tests, capable of performing HCCI tests with different fuels. All tests used a single-cylinder diesel engine modified to operate in HCCI mode. Also, for numerical simulation, a chemical kinetic multi-zone model was developed to predict HCCI combustion behavior with appropriate accuracy. To investigate the effect of fuel chemical structure on HCCI combustion, three fuels, toluene, iso-octane and normal heptane, with entirely different...
