Effect Of Crevice Mass Transfer In A Rapid Compression Machine, Gaurav Mittal, Mickael Chromier
Dr. Gaurav Mittal
Rapid Compression Machines (RCMs) often employ creviced pistons to suppress the formation of the roll-up vortex. However, the use of a creviced piston promotes mass transfer into the crevice when heat release takes place in the main combustion chamber. This multi-dimensional effect is not accounted for in the prevalent volumetric expansion approach for modeling RCMs. The method of crevice containment avoids post-compression mass transfer into the crevice. In order to assess the effect of the crevice mass transfer on ignition in a RCM, experiments are conducted for autoignition of isooctane in a RCM with creviced piston in the temperature range …
