Chemometrics-based Approach for Predicting Low Temperature Combustion Engine Fuel Performance

Creator:

Daly, Shane

Abstract:

Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions over traditional gasoline spark-ignited and diesel compression-ignition engines. The ability to produce fuels optimized for LTC engines could help increase efficiency and therefore improve fuel economy, insomuch that Federal fuel economy standards could be met. Currently, a fuel performance...

A modeling and empirical study of a novel bimodal natural gas internal combustion engine with fuel compression capability

Creator:

Elgin, Robert C., III

Abstract:

Given the current abundant supply and cheap price of natural gas (NG) in the United States, there is a significant opportunity to use this fuel for transportation. However, there are few fueling stations for consumers. To address this need, a dual-mode engine has been developed where in one mode all...
