▼ Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is an alternative combustion mode in which the fuel is homogeneously mixed with air and is auto-ignited by compression. Due to charge homogeneity, this mode is characterized by low equivalence ratios and temperatures giving simultaneously low nitric oxide (NOx) and soot in diesel engines. The conventional problem of NOx-soot trade-off is avoided in this mode due to absence of diffusion combustion. This mode can be employed at part load conditions while maintaining conventional combustion at high load thus minimizing regulatory cycle emissions and reducing cost of after-treatment systems. The present study focuses on achieving this mode in a turbocharged, common rail, direct injection, four-cylinder, heavy duty diesel engine. Specifically, the work involves a combination of three-dimensional CFD simulations and experiments on this engine to assess both traditional and novel strategies related to fuel injection. The first phase of the work involved a quasi-dimensional simulation of the engine to assess potential of achieving HCCI. This was done using a zero-dimensional, single-zone HCCI combustion model with n-heptane skeletal chemistry along with a one-dimensional model of intake and exhaust systems. The feasibility of operation with realistic knock values with high EGR rate of 60% was observed. The second aspect of the work involved three-dimensional CFD simulations of the in-cylinder process with wall film prediction to evaluate injection strategies associated with Early Direct Injection (EDI). The extended Coherent Flame Model-3Zone (ECFM-3Z) was employed for combustion simulation of conventional CI and EDI, and was validated with experimental in-cylinder pressure data from the engine. A new Uniformity Index (UI) parameter was defined to assess charge homogeneity. Results showed significant in-homogeneity and presence of wall film for EDI. Simulations were conducted to assess improvement of charge homogeneity by several strategies; narrow spray cone angle, injection timing, multiple injections, intake air heating, Port Fuel Injection (PFI) as well as combination of PFI and EDI. The maximum UI achieved by EDI was 0.78. The PFI strategy could achieve UI of 0.95; however, up to 50% of fuel remained trapped in the port after valve closure. This indicated that except EDI, none of the above-mentioned strategies could help achieve the benefits of the HCCI mode. The third part of the work involved engine experimentation to assess the EDI strategy. This strategy produced lower soot than that of conventional CI combustion with very short combustion duration, but led to high knock and NOx which is attributed to pool fire burning phenomenon of the wall film, as confirmed by CFD. An Optimized EDI (OptimEDI) strategy was then developed based on results of CFD and Design of Experiments. The Optim EDI consisted of triple injections with split ratio of 41%-45%-14% and advancing the first injection. This strategy gave 20% NOx and soot reduction over the conventional CI… Advisors/Committee Members: Ravikrishna, R V (advisor).

▼ This thesis is about modelling of the combustion and emissions of dual fuel HCCI engines for design of “engine combustion system”. For modelling the combustion first the laminar flamelet model and a hybrid Lagrangian / Eulerian method are developed and implemented to provide a framework for incorporating detailed chemical kinetics. This model can be applied to an engine for the validation of the chemical kinetic mechanism. The chemical kinetics, reaction rates and their equations lead to a certain formula for which the coefficients can be obtained from different sources, such as NASA polynomials [1]. This is followed by study of the simulation results and significant findings. Finally, for investigation of the knock phenomenon some characteristics such as compression ratio, fuel equivalence ratio, spark timing and their effects on the performance of an engine are examined and discussed. The OH radical concentration (which is the main factor for production of knock) is evaluated with regard to adjustment of the above mentioned characteristic parameters. In the second part of this work the specification of the sample engine is given and the results obtained from simulation are compared with experimental results for this sample engine, in order to validate the method applied in AVL Fire software. This method is used to investigate and optimize the effects of parameters such as inlet temperature, fuels ratio, diesel fuel injection timing, engine RPM and EGR on combustion in a dual fuel HCCI engine. For modelling the dual fuel HCCI engine AVL FIRE software is applied to simulate the combustion and study the optimization of a combustion chamber design. The findings for the dual fuel HCCI engine show that the mixture of methane and diesel fuel has a great influence on an engine's power and emissions. Inlet air temperature has also a significant role in the start of combustion so that inlet temperature is a factor in auto-ignition. With an increase of methane fuel, the burning process will be more rapid and oxidation becomes more complete. As a result, the amounts of CO and HC emissions decrease remarkably. With an increase of premixed ratio beyond a certain amount, NOX emissions decrease. With pressure increases markedly and at high RPM, knock phenomenon is observed in HCCI combustion.

▼ Implementation of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion in gasoline engines, while operating with improved fuel economy and reduced NOx emissions, is limited by the inability to control combustion phasing. Spark-assisted compression ignition (SACI) is a mechanism that controls HCCI combustion phasing, using spark ignition to advance the onset of compression ignition (CI). SACI was employed at two light-load operating points (200 kPa and 300 kPa IMEP at fueling rates of 7 and 10 mg per cycle, respectively) to advance the phasing of a marginally-stable HCCI operating point. At the lower load, stratification by means of direct injection of 3 mg fuel at the time of spark ignition was required to advance phasing using SACI. At the higher load, robust SACI operation required less stratification (late injection of 1 mg). NOx emissions increased two- and four-fold in SACI relative to HCCI operation at the lower and higher load, respectively; this increase was shown to result primarily from the stratification. This study identified two issues confounding SACI, only observed at the lower load: cyclic variability in CI combustion phasing and inability to sufficiently advance phasing. To address these issues, new metrics were created in this study to identify four stages of the SACI combustion process: spark discharge, early kernel growth (EKG), flame propagation, and CI. Experiments were performed using an optical HCCI engine to simultaneously acquire steady-state emissions, in-cylinder pressure data, spark-discharge current and voltage waveforms, images of the plasma channel, and images of combustion chemiluminescence from two orthogonal views at sub-crank-angle resolution; these measurements were used to identify the four stages for each engine cycle and thereby the cyclic variability of each stage. It was concluded that cyclic variability in the EKG, the period of low flame growth-rate and weak chemiluminescence, was the dominant cause of cyclic variability in combustion phasing. Also, findings indicated only a weak correlation between the creation of large kernels and motion of the plasma channel away from the spark gap. At the higher load, robust flame propagation immediately followed the spark discharge. It was inferred that local fuel/air distribution affected the transition to flame propagation.

▼ Advanced combustion strategies provide significant efficiency and emissions benefits compared to conventional spark ignited (SI) combustion, but challenges related to combustion control and load limits have made these technologies difficult to implement in practical systems. Until now, low cost reduced order models necessary for large parametric and multi-cycle studies capable of accurately capturing the full range of combustion modes from homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) and spark-assisted compression ignition (SACI) to SI have not been available. This important computational gap for advanced combustion engine research was the primary motivation for this doctoral work. The outcomes of this study include powerful new tools to evaluate advanced combustion strategies as well as novel methods to incorporate important advanced combustion characteristics into reduced order models. A reduced order thermodynamic model of advanced SACI combustion was first proposed. The model was used with available experimental data and previous high fidelity simulation results to develop a new empirical auto-ignition burn rate model that captures the effects of ignition timing, composition, temperature, pressure, engine speed, stratification and flame propagation. A complete engine model was then developed and incorporated into the commercial simulation software GT-Power. The model included chemical kinetics for low temperature heat release and auto-ignition detection and the empirical burn rate model for post-ignition heat release, as well as a new flame propagation model with improved physical groundings. The calibrated engine model showed good agreement with experimental trends of HCCI, SACI and SI combustion modes. The engine model was then used to assess practical strategies for accessing the advanced combustion regime and improving engine efficiency. The results showed HCCI and SACI provide a pathway for significant efficiency benefits compared to throttled SI, with efficiency improvements between 15-25% across a range of loads from 1-7 bar BMEP. Further efficiency gains appear possible beyond the experimentally observed SACI limit. As a further exercise, the load extension potential of boosted SACI combustion was conceptually investigated using a simple thermodynamic framework incorporating the empirical burn rate model and practical operating constraints. The results indicate boosted SACI can nearly double the maximum engine load compared to naturally aspirated operation. Advisors/Committee Members: Wooldridge, Margaret S.

▼ AbstractThe Effect of Ethanol Addition to Gasoline on Low- and Intermediate-Temperature Heat Release under Boosted Conditions in Kinetically Controlled EnginesbyDavid Malcolm VuilleumierDoctor of Philosophy in Mechanical EngineeringUniversity of California, BerkeleyProfessor Jyh-Yuan Chen, ChairThe detailed study of chemical kinetics in engines has become required to further advance engine efficiency while simultaneously lowering engine emissions. This push for higher efficiency engines is not caused by a lack of oil, but by efforts to reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, that cause global warming. To operate in more efficient manners while reducing traditional pollutant emissions, modern internal combustion piston engines are forced to operate in regimes in which combustion is no longer fully transport limited, and instead is at least partially governed by chemical kinetics of combusting mixtures. Kinetically-controlled combustion allows the operation of piston engines at high compression ratios, with partially-premixed dilute charges; these operating conditions simultaneously provide high thermodynamic efficiency and low pollutant formation.The investigations presented in this dissertation study the effect of ethanol addition on the low-temperature chemistry of gasoline type fuels in engines. These investigations are carried out both in a simplified, fundamental engine experiment, named Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, as well as in more applied engine systems, named Gasoline Compression Ignition engines and Partial Fuel Stratification engines. These experimental investigations, and the accompanying modeling work, show that ethanol is an effective scavenger of radicals at low temperatures, and this inhibits the low temperature pathways of gasoline oxidation. Further, the investigations measure the sensitivity of gasoline auto-ignition to system pressure at conditions that are relevant to modern engines. It is shown that at pressures above 40 bar and temperatures below 850 Kelvin, gasoline begins to exhibit Low-Temperature Heat Release. However, the addition of 20% ethanol raises the pressure requirement to 60 bar, while the temperature requirement remains unchanged.These findings have major implications for a range of modern engines. Low-Temperature Heat Release significantly enhances the auto-ignition process, which limits the conditions under which advanced combustion strategies may operate. As these advanced combustion strategies are required to meet emissions and fuel-economy regulations, the findings of this dissertation may benefit and be incorporated into future engine design toolkits, such as detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms.

Conventional diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than SI engines. In this type of engine, the air-fuel mixture auto-ignites because of piston compression instead of ignition by spark plug. These processes effectively limit the rate of combustion. The in-cylinder temperature in a conventional diesel engine is about 2700 K, which leads to a significant production of Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions. For diesel engines, a trade-off made between NOx and soot. After treatment systems are used in the modern day engines which are expensive. Consequently, the obvious ideal combination would be to find an engine type with high efficiency as that of diesel engines and very low emissions as that of gasoline engines with catalytic converters. One such technology is homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI). In the present work, homogeneous mixture was prepared outside the combustion chamber (External mixture formation) by using Ultrasonic fuel injection (USFI) system and Diesel fuel vapouriser system. The key to the external mixture formation method with diesel is proper fuel preparation. In the first approach, the Ultra sonic atomiser receives diesel fuel in liquid state and by means of ultrasonic vibration energy, performs work on the fuel, transforming it to a highly atomised state and then effectively mixing with air to form a more uniform fuel- air mixture. Similarly, in the second approach, the Diesel fuel vapouriser receives fuel in liquid state and it converts into vapour form by means of an external power source, and effectively mixes with the incoming air to form a uniform fuel-air mixture. The experimental results show that, NOx and smoke reduces by about 80 % and 92 % respectively with USFI system. Whereas, in Diesel fuel vapouriser (DFV) system, the NOx and smoke reduction is about 95 % and 83 % respectively. The engine operated from no load to 75 % load without any problem in the case of diesel fuel vaporiser system, whereas in USFI system the engine operated between 25% to 75% load on

▼ "The hypothesis tested in this work is that the surface vibration and radiated sound of an engine operating under HCCI combustion is dominated by the free vibration response of the engine's structural components to an impulsive loading brought about by the rapid energy release of the HCCI combustion process. Recent work by the author has shown that classical vibration theory describing the dynamic response of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillator may capture the major characteristics of the engine surface vibrations. Through an experimental investigation of HCCI combustion engine dynamics this model has been developed further. A band level analysis of measured engine noise was employed to determine whether low or high frequency oscillations were dominating the acoustic signature of the engine. The results of the band level analysis showed that the combustion behavior associated with the energy release process occurring in the bulk gas dominates the radiated engine noise when compared to the high frequency gas resonant oscillations. Using an impact hammer technique it was found that the vibration frequencies of oscillation measured on the engine surface do not govern the oscillation frequencies measured during combustion. However it was also found that the oscillation frequencies excited during combustion for all vertical velocity measurement locations were relatively constant regardless of engine firing condition. This result indicates that the frequencies are still governed by constant dynamic properties of the engine however this work has shown they are not local surface vibration modes. An in-depth analysis of the relation between the cylinder pressure power spectral density (PSD) and measured velocity PSD for various velocity measurement locations was undertaken. It was found the form of the cylinder pressure spectral energy directly modulated the surface velocity spectral energy indicative of a shock loading to the system. It was also found that peak HRR is a good indicator of combustion noise level in an HCCI engine. An analytical model based on the SDOF theory was developed to predict relative levels of HCCI combustion induced vibration metrics. This model provides the crucial link between the engine combustion and dynamic properties necessary for modeling of HCCI engine combustion noise" – Abstract, page iii.

▼ Modeling the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine requires a balanced approach that captures both fluid motion as well as low and high temperature fuel oxidation. A fully coupled CFD and chemistry scheme would be the ideal HCCI modeling approach, but is computationally very expensive. As a result, modeling assumptions are required in order to develop tools that are computationally efficient, yet maintain an acceptable degree of accuracy. In the first part of this dissertation, KIVA-3V is used to investigate the mixing process in HCCI engines prior to combustion, particularly for operation with high levels of residual gas fraction. It is found that insufficient mixing of the hot residuals with the fresh charge can lead to the presence of significant temperature and composition nonuniformities in the cylinder. Then, in order to investigate the effect of temperature and composition stratification on HCCI combustion, two modeling approaches are explored. The first approach is a sequential fluid-mechanic - thermo-kinetic model. The KIVA-3V code is initiated before the exhaust event and operated over the gas exchange period, until a transition point before TDC. The three-dimensional computational domain is then mapped into a two-dimensional array of zones with different temperature and composition, which are used to initiate a multi-zone thermodynamic simulation. In the second approach, KIVA-3V is fully integrated with a multi-zone model with detailed chemical kinetics. The multi-zone model communicates with KIVA-3V at each computational timestep, as in the ideal fully coupled case. However, the composition of the cells is mapped back and forth between KIVA-3V and the multi-zone model, introducing significant computational time savings. The methodology uses a novel re-mapping technique that can account for both temperature and composition non-uniformities in the cylinder. Validation cases were developed by solving the detailed chemistry in every cell of a KIVA-3V grid. The new methodology shows good agreement with the detailed solutions. Hence, it can be used to provide insight into the fundamental effects of temperature and equivalence ratio distribution on ignition, burn duration, and emissions in HCCI engines.

▼ There is a strong demand for a versatile computational model in the design of modern engines such as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) and partially premixed compression ignition (PPCI) engines. A robust model is required to describe accurately both the chemistry and turbulent mixing processes in the reacting flow. Although the existing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes coupled with detailed kinetics models may reproduce some realistic results, the excessive computational cost prevents them to be applicable as engineering tools. The present study aims at developing a new modeling approach that can describe the combustion process with high fidelity and computational efficiency. In this study, a two-conserved scalar approach is proposed to model HCCI and PPCI combustion. The first conserved scalar, the mixture fraction Z, is introduced to capture the inhomogeneities in the fuel-air mixture, and the second conserved scalar, the initial EGR fraction J, is introduced to capture the inhomogeneities in the fresh mixture-EGR charge. The main benefits of this approach are the reduction of dimensionality and the compactness of the domain in the conserved scalar plane, and the capability to use different resolutions for the chemistry and the fluid mechanics calculation. To solve the flow in the conserved scalar plane, two algorithms are proposed. First, the flamelet (zone) creation strategy is introduced to discretize the conserved scalar space based on its mass distribution and reactivity. The second part is the regeneration procedure which accounts for the nonlinear effect of EGR on reaction rates. Test results from the two-conserved scalar approach are compared to those obtained by direct calculation, and it is demonstrated that the regeneration process in the present approach can properly account for the nonlinear effects arising from chemical reactions, as an improvement over the representative interactive flamelet (RIF) approach. The two conserved scalar model is subsequently implemented into the KIVA-3v code to simulate HCCI combustion. The results show excellent agreement with experimental data, demonstrating that the present approach achieves the initial modeling objectives. Finally, the two conserved scalar approach is applied to the modeling of direct injection (DI) combustion with an assumption of non-homogeneous EGR. Discrepancies relative to the results from direct calculations are identified. These are attributed to the limitation inherent to the flamelet model, and further improvements are suggested as future work. Advisors/Committee Members: Assanis, Dionissios N. (advisor).

▼ The principle of controlled auto-ignition (CAI) is to mix fuel and air homogeneously before compressing the mixture to the point of auto-ignition. As ignition occurs simultaneously, CAI engines operate with lean mixtures preventing high cylinder pressures. CAI engines produce small amounts of nitrogen oxides (NOx) due to low combustion temperatures while maintaining high compression ratios and engine efficiencies. Due to simultaneous combustion and lean mixtures, CAI engines are restricted between low and mid load operations. Various strategies have been studied to improve the load limit of CAI engines. The scope of the project is to investigate the consequences of varying valve timing, as a method to control the mixture temperature within the combustion chamber and therefore, controlling the mixture auto-ignition point. This study presents computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling results of transient flow, inside a 0.45 litre Lotus single cylinder engine. After a validation process, a chemical kinetics model is combined with the CFD code, in order to study in-cylinder temperatures, the mixture distribution during compression and to predict the auto-ignition timing. The first part of the study focuses on validating the calculated in-cylinder velocities. A mesh sensitivity study is performed as well as a comparison of different turbulence models. A method to reduce computational time of the calculations is presented. The effects of engine speed on charge delay and charge amount inside the cylinder, the development of the in-cylinder flow field and the variation of turbulence parameters during the intake and compression stroke, are studied. The second part of the study focuses on the gasoline mixture and the variation of the valve timing, to retain different ratios of residual gases within the cylinder. After validation of the model, a final set of CFD calculations is performed, to investigate the effects of valve timing on flow and the engine parameters. The results are then compared to a fully homogeneous mixture model to study the benefits of varying valve duration. New key findings and contributions to CAI knowledge were found in this investigation. Reducing the intake and exhaust valve durations created a mixture temperature stratification and a fuel concentration distribution, prior to auto-ignition. It resulted in extending the heat release rate duration, improving combustion. However, shorter valve timing durations also showed an increase in heat transfer, pumping work and friction power, with a decrease of cylinder indicated efficiency. Valve timing, as a method to control auto-ignition, should only be used when the load limit of CAI engines, is to be improved.

▼ This computational study addresses the unique characteristics of the strong coupling that exists between the thermal condition of the engine structure and the combustion in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine, with particular emphasis on the effects of thermal inertia and possible control strategies to compensate for the thermal non-equilibrium that occurs. The engine modeled is a single-cylinder HCCI engine with a re-breathing exhaust valve configuration that utilizes a large amount of hot residual to increase thermal energy of the air-fuel mixture for auto-ignition and to dilute it for preventing rapid heat release rate as well as to keep burned gas temperature low for NO_x control. The in-cylinder combustion and heat transfer, the gas exchange process through valves, and thermal inertia of the engine structures are considered simultaneously in order to fully investigate the HCCI engine transient behavior. A system level engine model including original combustion and heat transfer models developed for the HCCI engine was developed for this purpose. The original contribution of this study is the addition of a thermal network model that tracks the behavior of the engine's thermal boundaries during transient operation. The combustion and performance of an HCCI engine were found to be very sensitive to the engine thermal conditions including intake air temperature, residual level and coolant temperature. In particular, the transient wall temperature excursions from steady-state values were shown to play a great role in determining the combustion characteristics by reducing or enhancing the wall heat transfer. A stable steady-state HCCI operating range was defined and optimized for the best fuel economy by controlling the residual level, and possible shifts of the operating limits due to thermal transitions were studied. An original method was proposed to modulate the role of thermal inertia on auto-ignition during transients by compensating for thermally non-equilibrium wall conditions to enhance robust control of ignition timing in transient operation. A variable valve system was used for that purpose to control combustion phasing by optimizing residual level. The results were improved fuel economy while complying with knock and misfire limits.

Depuis plusieurs années, l’une des problématiques sociétales est de diminuer les émissions de polluants et de gaz à effet de serre dans l’atmosphère. Le secteur du transport terrestre est directement concerné par ces considérations. Le moteur Diesel semble promis à un bel avenir grâce à son rendement supérieur à celui du moteur à allumage commandé, conduisant à de plus faibles rejets de CO2. Cependant, sa combustion génère des émissions d’oxyde d’azote (NOx) et de particules dans l’atmosphère. Les normes anti-pollution étant de plus en plus sévères et les incitations à diminuer les consommations de carburant de plus en plus fortes, le moteur Diesel est confronté à une problématique NOx/particules/consommation toujours plus difficile à résoudre. Une des voies envisagées consiste à modifier le mode de combustion afin de limiter les émissions polluantes à la source tout en conservant de faibles consommations. La voie la plus prometteuse est la combustion HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) obtenue par injections directes précoces. Plusieurs limitations critiques doivent cependant être revues et améliorées : le mouillage des parois par le carburant liquide et le contrôle de la combustion à forte charge. Le but de cette thèse est ainsi de mieux comprendre les phénomènes mis en jeu lors de la combustion HCCI à forte charge obtenue par des multi-injections directes précoces. Une méthodologie a été mise au point afin de détecter le mouillage des parois du cylindre, ce qui a permis de comprendre l’effet du phasage et de la pression d’injection sur cette problématique. Une stratégie optimale de multi-injections permettant d’atteindre une charge élevée sans mouiller les parois a ainsi été développée et choisie. Nous avons ensuite pu mettre en évidence le potentiel de la stratification par la dilution en tant que moyen de contrôle de la combustion en admettant le diluant dans un seul des 2 conduits d’admission. Des mesures réalisées en complémentarité sur le même moteur mais en version ‘optique’, ont permis, à partir de la technique de Fluorescence Induite par Laser, de montrer que concentrer le diluant dans les zones réactives où se situe le carburant permet un meilleur contrôle de la combustion, ce qui permet d’amener le taux de dilution a des niveaux faisables technologiquement.

For several years, reduce pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere is become a leitmotiv. The automotive world is directly affected by these considerations. Diesel engine has a promising future thanks to its efficiency higher than that of S.I. engine, leading to lower CO2 emissions. However, Diesel combustion emits nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates in the atmosphere. Emissions regulations are more and more severe, and considerations about fuel consumption are more and more significant. Thus, Diesel engine has to face a NOx/particulates/consumption issue that is more and more difficult to answer. One of the considered ways to reduce pollutant emissions while maintaining low fuel consumptions is to change the…

▼ Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines provide the benefits such as low NOx emission and high fuel efficiency. Control of the HCCI engine, however, is difficult since its ignition cannot be directly actuated. Controlled autoignition requires regulation of the charge properties, especially charge temperature, as observed by many experimental results and substantiated in this thesis. To facilitate the control analysis and development, this thesis first introduce a physics-based cycle-to-cycle model of' a gasoline HCCI engine with an internal feedback loop constituted by the recirculation of exhaust gas. One important assumption in our modeling work that propagates down to the multiplicity analysis and controller synthesis is that the charge composition does not affect combustion (autoignition timing, burn duration, combustion efficiency, etc). This assumption is validated by the dominance of thermal dynamics revealed by sensitivity analysis and balanced realization of plant linearizations. Good agreement with experimental data suggests that the charge composition effects probably are of secondary importance, at least, for the regulation of the crank angle of 50% fuel burned (theta_C_A50). Based on the balanced truncation of the linearized model, a decentralized feedback and cancellation feedforward controller is designed. This linear controller has minimal complexity and care be tuned using classical PID design rules or real-time identification. The impact of the: nonlinear temperature dynamics in the internal feedback loop is then investigated by using the returning maps. The returning maps reveal the existence of stable and unstable equilibria of the cycle-to-cycle thermal dynamics. In the end, a nonlinear observer-based feedback controller is developed to stabilize the cycle-to-cycle temperature dynamics and regulate the combustion timing during large load transitions within the HCCI operating range. Simulations and estimates of the region of attraction show that the designed controller is robust to uncertainties such as the manifold filling dynamics, exhaust runner heat transfer, the cycle-to-cycle variation of theta_C_A50 and the uncertainty in the nonlinearity of the temperature dynamics.

▼ Current emphasis on decreasing vehicle fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from the automotive sector directs many research efforts towards two gasoline engine technologies, namely, the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines, and the downsized TurboCharged (TC) Spark Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI) engines with variable valve timing (VVT). In the HCCI category, many actuation strategies have been proposed with the more popular being the dual-fuel strategies and the high residual recycling. In this thesis, a heat recycling strategy is considered, specifically, a heated-air inlet HCCI engine with two intake throttles that control the cold and hot air streams. To facilitate the control analysis and development, a physics-based crank-angle resolved and a mean-value models are developed for feedback controller design. We discover that the combustion duration defined as the duration between the crank angle of 10% and 90% fuel burned, provides a universal set point for all speeds and loads for both combustion stability and fuel efficiency. Based on a novel allocation of two actuators, the hot and cold throttles, a feedback controller is designed and simulated to regulate the combustion duration at a desired value during load changes. In the category of the TC SIDI engines, we address the important problem of reducing the calibration complexity when these engines are intended to run on gasoline (E0) and/or a blend of up to 85% ethanol (E85). Typically, there is variability in the optimal VVT and spark values for every blend of gasoline-ethanol. This variability burdens the calibration task for these engines with many degrees of freedom (throttle, VVT, wastegate, fuel injection timing and duration, and spark timing). We first address the transient coupling between throttle and VVT in controlling the air charge. A model-based valve compensator is designed to improve the transient behavior of cylinder charge and torque during tip-ins and tip-outs with the VVT system transitions from set-points. An extremum seeking (ES) controller tuned based on the engine model demonstrates the convergence of both spark timing and VVT to the optimal values to achieve the best fuel efficiency.

▼ The inherent thermodynamic benefits of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) make it a likely choice for meeting the increasing demands of fuel economy legislation. Unfortunately HCCI suffers from reduced combustion efficiency and operational variability due to the buildup of carbon deposits. However, the unique thermo-kinetic nature and thermal sensitivity of Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) provides an opportunity to improve combustion efficiency through manipulation of the in-cylinder thermal environment. This body of work sought to create a wall temperature swing using a thin Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) to reduce combustion heat transfer and improve LTC combustion and thermal efficiencies. The first TBC used was a thin, dense YSZ coating, which provided modest gains in thermal and combustion efficiencies in addition to accelerating LTC burn rates and advancing combustion. This confirmed the original hypothesis, so coatings with higher porosity were pursued as a means of further reducing thermal conductivity and increasing the temperature swing magnitude. This direction of investigation yielded further incremental improvements in thermal and combustion efficiencies, however pitfalls experienced due to interactions of combustion gases with the surface roughness and open porosity of highly-porous TBCs discouraged this area of inquiry. An investigation into porosity and roughness interactions confirmed the impacts of surface roughness, however the open porosity effects were not representative of the impacts witnessed with the TBC, due to the porosity becoming blocked by carbon deposits. The next step focused on alternative low thermal conductivity materials, such as gadolinium zirconate, as a way to achieve durable, low conductivity TBCs. This area of investigation proved successful, providing a thin coating with a 0.65 W/m-K conductivity that created a large temperature swing, boosting thermal efficiency by up to a 5.9% and combustion efficiency by up to 1.5%. As a separate approach to improving combustion efficiency, catalytically active coatings were investigated. Experiments indicated catalytic activity with the use of a low temperature CuOx – CoOy – CeO2 (CCC) catalyst specifically developed for LTC aftertreatment over a YSZ thermal barrier provided a modest boost to combustion and thermal efficiencies. Combined, these investigations provide guidance on thermal barrier coating design for LTC to remove one of the last hurdles to mass-adoption for HCCI engines.

Actuellement, les principaux thèmes pour le secteur de transport sont le réchauffement global et la crise énergétique, ce qui encourage les chercheurs à développer des technologies alternatives et efficaces. Le concept ‘HCCI’ (combustion d’une charge homogène, allumée par compression) est l’une des solutions pour le moteur de véhicules. Ce mode de combustion, indépendant d’une notion de propagation de flamme, permet de réduire fortement les émissions critiques de NOX et de suies dans les gaz d'échappement. Cette combustion de type HCCI du carburant diesel se caractérise par une combustion à deux étapes. Parallèlement, l’apparition de nouveaux carburants, comme le bio-alcool, est une autre voie de recherche. Les bio-alcools ont un nombre d’indice d'octane élevé qui peut se mélanger avec du carburant diesel pour optimiser la combustion de HCCI des carburants diesel. L’objectif de cette thèse est donc de caractériser les deux étapes de la combustion HCCI en étudiant l’influence de l’impact de l’ajout d’une fraction d’alcools dans diesel. La comparaison avec un mélange d’iso-octane, hydrocarbure à indice d'octane élevé de paraffine et des mélanges dilués via les gaz d’échappement est aussi analysée en tant que verrous potentiels pour améliorer la combustion de type HCCI. Dans cette thèse, le n-heptane est choisi comme composé principal représentatif du diesel, l'éthanol et 1-butanol sont choisis comme bio-alcools. L’analyse présentée ici se repose sur trois approches différentes : l’analyse expérimentale de la pression cylindre, l'analyse d'images de chimiluminescence spontanée de certaines espèces et les résultats issus de la modélisation cinétique de la combustion.

Currently, the major issues for the transportation sector are the global warming and energy crisis which encourage researchers to develop an alternative green efficient technology. The homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) can be one of solutions for the automotive engine. This combustion concept is independent on the high temperature flame propagation which releases lowest critical emissions (NOX and PM) in the exhaust gas. HCCI combustion of diesel fuel presents specific characteristic of two-stage ignition that over-advances the main heat release. As the importance of bio-alcohol fuels increases, it is interesting to evaluate the potential of the fuels, to optimize the HCCI combustion of diesel fuels. This is the objective of this phD thesis. The two-stage ignition characteristic of the diesel hydrocarbon is described and the influence of alcohol fuel fraction in diesel blends is investigated in comparison with high octane paraffin hydrocarbon diesel blends and EGR addition. All potentials are concluded to the potential for HCCI combustion improvement. In this thesis, n-heptane was selected as the major diesel representative component and ethanol and 1-butanol as the considered alcohol fuels. Three approaches were used based on experimental cylinder pressure analysis, the chemiluminescence emissions image analysis and the chemical kinetic…

▼ Compression-ignition (CI) engines, also known as “diesel” engines, can produce higher thermal efficiency (TE) than spark-ignition (SI) engines, which allows them to emit less carbon dioxide (CO2) per unit of energy generated. Unfortunately, in practice the TE of CI engines is limited by the need to maintain sufficiently low emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and soot. This problem can be mitigated by operating CI engines in dual-fuel modes with port fuel injection (PFI) of gasoline supplementing the direct injection (DI) of diesel fuel. Several strategies for doing this have been introduced in recent years, but these operating modes are usually studied individually at discrete conditions. This thesis introduces a classification system for dual-fuel CI modes that links together several previously studied modes across a continuous two-dimensional diagram. The combustion modes covered by this system include the standard modes of conventional diesel combustion (CDC) and conventional dual-fuel (CDF); the well-explored advanced combustion modes of HCCI, RCCI, PCCI, and PPCI; and a relatively unexplored combustion mode that is herein titled “Piston-split Dual-Fuel Combustion” or PDFC. The results show that dual-fuel CI engines can simultaneously increase TE and lower NOx and/or soot emissions at high loads through the use of Partial HCCI (PHCCI), despite an increase in emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and unburnt hydrocarbons (UHC). At low loads, PHCCI is not possible, but either PDFC or RCCI can be used to further improve NOx and/or soot emissions, albeit at slightly lower TE and still higher emissions of CO and UHC. This multi-mode strategy of PHCCI at high loads and PDFC or RCCI at low loads is particularly useful when low engine-out NOx emissions are required.

Dans un contexte de recherche de nouveaux modes de combustion propres, la combustionhomogène à allumage par compression HCCI s’inscrit comme une stratégie prometteuse.Cependant, cette combustion est limitée par un niveau élevé de bruit. La recherche descarburants permettant de relaxer cette contrainte constitue l’objectif global de cette étude.Particulièrement, on s’intéresse ici à l’influence de l’Indice de Cétane, de la volatilité et de lacomposition chimique des carburants sur les Délais d’Auto-Inflammation et sur les vitesses decombustion globales évaluées par les taux maximaux d’accroissement de la pression et dudégagement d’énergie apparente. L’étude se base dans un premier temps sur l’analyse d’essaissur banc moteur dans lesquels on a testé plusieurs carburants de synthèse à l’état pur et enmélange avec un Gazole conventionnel. Dans un deuxième temps des essais ont été préparés etréalisés sur Machine à Compression Rapide avec deux configurations en injection directe et enmélange homogène. Les essais Moteur ont permis d’orienter les paramètres expérimentauxciblés sur ce dispositif. D’autre part, pour étudier les régimes de combustion, des mesures dechamps de température locale ont été réalisées en mélange inerte (N2, CO2, Ar) par FluorescenceInduite par Laser avec un traceur Toluène. L’étude montre les limites des paramètres habituelspour caractériser l’adéquation carburant combustion HCCI et propose un nouveau critère basésur la dépendance des délais d’auto-inflammation à la température et à la richesse.

Advanced combustion strategies such as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI)usually enable cleaner combustion with less NOx and Particulate Matter emissions comparedto conventional Diesel combustion. However, these strategies are difficult to implement due todifficulties related to combustion timing and burn rate control. Lately various studies have beenfocusing on extending advanced combustion functioning with new technologies and withsearching fuels properties to enable such combustion modes. This study is focused on theimpact of fuel Cetane Number, volatility and chemical composition on Ignition Delay, HeatRelease Rate and Pressure Rise Rate. The study is based on three complementary experiments.First, several synthetic fuel was tested on a research engine and analysis was focused on theHeat Release Rate. Secondly, experiments on a Rapid Compression Machine were performedto study the auto-ignition phenomena at homogeneous conditions with surrogate fuels (blendsof n-Heptane and Methyl-Cyclohexane). Analysis of the combustion regimes was supported bya study of the temperature field based on a Toluene Laser Induced Fluorescence experiment ininert (N2, CO2, Ar) mixture. Finally, the RCM was adapted to allow direct injection of fuel tostudy the auto-ignition at less homogeneous conditions. Results showed the limits of theconventional fuels properties to describe an adequate fuel formulation for the HCCI combustionmode. A new criterion based on the dependency of ignition delays to temperature and air…

▼ HCCI is an advanced combustion concept, using premixed fuel and air with a diluted charge. This is thermodynamically favorable, leading to high efficiency and therefore lower CO2 emissions. The well-premixed and diluted fuel charge gives lower cylinder temperatures than conventional diesel compression ignition and spark ignited gasoline combustion, resulting in low engine out emissions of both nitrogen oxides and soot. To be able to optimize and use the advanced combustion concepts in commercial engines, knowledge of fuel behavior is needed, and a way to describe it. This thesis work provides detailed information about HCCI auto-ignition by studying parameters such as low temperature heat release and auto-ignition temperatures. An HCCI Fuel Number is presented, developed with the purpose to describe fuel performance. By comparing fuels such as full distillate gasolines or biofuels to the required compression ratio for auto-ignition for reference fuels, a measure on HCCI fuel performance is gained. This fuel number was shown to correlate well with pre-reactions in the fuels. The thesis work is based on CFR engine experiments, studying over 40 different reference fuels consisting of blends of n-heptane, iso-octane, toluene, and ethanol, which are model surrogates for gasoline. In addition, 21 different full distillate gasoline fuels prepared from refinery feedstocks, some with addition of single components, were tested as well. Five different inlet air temperatures ranging from 50°C to 150°C were used to achieve different temperature-pressure histories, and the compression ratio was changed accordingly to keep a constant combustion phasing, CA50, of 3±1° after TDC. The main parts of the experiments were carried out in lean operation with a constant equivalence ratio of 0.33 and with an engine speed of 600 rpm. Additional experiments were performed at higher engine speeds. Studied fuel effects include low temperature heat release quenching effects, were ethanol was found to quench low temperature heat release at all conditions, and toluene had an in comparison very weak effect on these pre-reactions. All conditions and fuels with extensive low temperature heat release showed similar auto-ignition temperatures. When LTHR diminished, either due to fuel quenching from ethanol or toluene, or when the inlet air temperature was increased, the auto-ignition temperature was increased.

▼ This dissertation discusses the results from three different studies aimed at understanding the importance of fuel chemical structure during low temperature combustion (LTC) strategies, like homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) and partially premixed combustion (PPC) employed in internal combustion (IC) engines wherein the focus is on high octane fuels. Boosted intake air operation combined with exhaust gas recirculation, internal as well as external, has become a standard path for expanding the load limits of IC engines employing LTC strategies mentioned above as well as conventional diesel and spark ignition (SI) engines. However, the effects of fuel compositional variation have not been fully explored. The first study focusses on three different fuels, where each of them were evaluated using a single cylinder boosted HCCI engine using negative valve overlap. The three fuels investigated were: a regular grade gasoline (RON = 90.2), 30% ethanol-gasoline blend (E30, RON = 100.3), and 24% iso-butanol-gasoline blend (IB24, RON = 96.6). Detailed sweeps of intake manifold pressure (atmospheric to 250 kPaa), EGR (0 – 25% EGR), and injection timing were conducted to identify fuel-specific effects. While significant fuel compositional differences existed, the results showed that all these fuels achieved comparable operation with minor changes in operational conditions. Further, it was shown that the available enthalpy from the exhaust would not be sufficient to satisfy the boost requirements at higher load operation by doing an analysis of the required turbocharger efficiency. While the first study concentrated on load expansion of HCCI, it is important to mention that controlling LTC strategies is difficult under low load or idle operating conditions. To ensure stable operation, fuel injection in the negative valve overlap (NVO) is used as one of method of achieving combustion control. However the combustion chemistry under high temperature and fuel rich conditions that exist during the NVO have not been previously explored. The second study focused on examining the products of fuel rich chemistry as a result of fuel injection in the NVO. In this study, a unique six stroke cycle was used to segregate the exhaust from the NVO and to study the chemistry of the range of fuels injected during NVO under low oxygen conditions. The fuels investigated were methanol, ethanol, iso-butanol, and iso-octane. It was observed that the products of reactions under NVO conditions were highly dependent on the injected fuel’s structure with iso-octane producing less than 1.5% hydrogen and methanol producing more than 8%. However a weak dependence was observed on NVO duration and initial temperature, indicating that NVO reforming was kinetically limited. Finally, the experimental trends were compared with CHEMKIN (single zone, 0-D model) predictions using multiple kinetic mechanism that were readily available through literature. Due to the simplicity of the model and inadequate information on the fuel injection process, the… Advisors/Committee Members: Andre Louis Boehman, Dissertation Advisor/Co-Advisor, Randy Vander Wal, Dissertation Advisor/Co-Advisor, Chunshan Song, Committee Member, Daniel Connell Haworth, Committee Member, James Szybist, Special Member.

▼ Highly dilute, low temperature combustion technologies, such as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), show significant improvements in internal combustion engine fuel efficiency and engine-out NOx emissions. These improvements, however, occur at limited operating range and conventional spark ignition (SI) combustion is still required to fulfill the driver's high torque demands. In consequence, such multimode engines involve discrete switches between the two distinct combustion modes. Such switches unfortunately require a finite amount of time, during which they exhibit penalties in efficiency. Along with its challenges, the design of such a novel system offers new degrees of freedom in terms of engine and aftertreatment specifications. Prior assessments of this technology were based on optimistic assumptions and neglected switching dynamics. Furthermore, emissions and driveability were not fully addressed. To this end, a comprehensive simulation framework, which accounts for above-mentioned penalties and incorporates interactions between multimode engine, driveline, and three-way catalyst (TWC), has been developed. Experimental data was used to parameterize a novel mode switch model, formulated as finite-state machine. This model was combined with supervisory controller designs, which made the switching decision. The associated drive cycle results were analyzed and it was seen that mode switches have significant influence on overall fuel economy, and the issue of drivability needs to be addressed within the supervisory strategy. After expanding the analysis to address emissions assuming a TWC, it was shown that, in practice, HCCI operation requires the depletion of the TWC's oxygen storage capacity (OSC). For large OSCs the resulting lean-rich cycling nullifies HCCI's original efficiency benefits. In addition, future emissions standards are still unlikely to be fulfilled, deeming a system consisting of such a multimode engine and TWC with generous OSC unfavorable. In view of these difficulties, the modeling framework was extended to a mild hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) allowing a prolonged operation in HCCI mode with associated fuel economy benefits during city driving. Further analysis on how to reduce NOx while maintaining fuel economy resulted in a counterintuitive suggestion. It was deemed beneficial to constrain the HCCI operation to a small region, exhibiting lowest NOx, while reducing instead of increasing the OSC.
