Investigation of Intake Boost Pressure Effects on Performance and Exhaust Exergy of a Natural Gas Fueled HCCI Combustion Engine
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
To increase thermal efficiency of Internal Combustion (IC) engines and follow emissions regulations, new combustion strategies should be used. Homogeneous Charged Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine is one of the advanced combustion strategies which can reduce NOx significantly while it has a high thermal efficiency like diesel engines. In this study, a single cylinder HCCI engine was considered and the effects of change of boost pressure on engine performance were reported. Also, the effects of boost pressure on exhaust exergy components were studied. It is found that with increasing the boost pressure the specific fuel consumption per cycle reduced significantly.
