Abstract
The objective of this study was to achieve a controlled HCCI-DI combustion using in-cylinder dual injection technique and to study the effect of premixed ratio and EGR on combustion, performance and emission characteristics of the engine. Studies were carried out up to 67% (0-67%) of the full load and a constant speed of 1500Â rev/min. The premixed ratio was varied from zero to a maximum of 80% of the total fuel by mass. At 50% load condition, occurrences of peak pressure, peak PRR and peak HRR varied within 5-7Â deg BTDC, 1.5-5Â deg BTDC and 1-4Â deg BTDC respectively. It was observed that diesel homogeneous combustion showed a two phase heat release pattern at higher premixed ratios and all combustion parameters advanced dramatically with increasing premixed ratio. The results showed that a reduction of 76% in NOX and 40% in smoke opacity were achieved using 80% premixed ratio with 30% EGR. As the premixed ratio was increased, there was an improvement in IMEP, ISFC and smoke opacity with penalties in HC and CO emissions.
