Fuel Economy And Greenhouse Gas Reduction Potentials Of Advanced Combustion Modes In Light-Duty Vehicles: A Well-To-Wheel Analysis Using Vehicle Systems Simulations With Experimental Engine Data, Scott James Curran
Doctoral Dissertations
Vehicle fuel efficiency and emissions regulations are driving a radical shift in the need for high efficiency powertrains along with control of criteria air pollutants and greenhouse gases. High efficiency powertrains including vehicle electrification, engine downsizing, and advanced combustion concepts all seek to accomplish these goals. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) concepts have been proposed have not been able to demonstrate the controllability to operate over a sufficient engine speed and load range to make it practical for implementation in production vehicles. In-cylinder blending of gasoline and diesel to achieve reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) has been shown to reduce …
