Thermal and chemical effects of the in-cylinder charge at IVC on cycle-to-cycle variations of DME HCCI combustion with combustion-phasing retard by external and rebreathed EGR
Combustion-phasing retard is an effective method for reducing a pressure-rise rate. Excessive combustion-phasing retard leads to unacceptable cycle-to-cycle variations. Chemical effects of the residuals make a recovery of IMEP even for low temperature. Adding the residuals to in-cylinder charge enhances the autoignition sufficiently. Advance of CA50 and increase of IMEP is in proportion to the amount of residuals.
