This study was computationally explored how the fuel autoignition reactivity was affected by operating parameters such as fuel, pressure, intake temperatures, engine speed and EGR compositions for HCCI combustion. This is done for DME and CHEMKIN-PRO was used as a solver. At first, influence of the operating parameters and EGR compositions were showed. And then, in order to clarify the mechanism of them on autoignition reactivity, data-sets of kinetic were analyzed to investigate the elementary reaction path for heat release at transient tempeatures by using contribution matrix.

The characteristics of co-combustion of Korean anthracite and bituminous coal was determined in a TGA and a lab-scale CFB reactor. The combustion reactivity of Korean anthracite (E = 51.2 kcal/mol) was much lower than that of bituminous coal (E = 14.5 kcal/mol). As the addition amount of the bituminous coal into the anthracite was increased, the reactivity of the anthracite was found to be improved. The effluent rate of the emission gases from the CFB reactor was not changed appreciably when each coal burned. As the bituminous coal was added, however, the effluent rate of the emissions was increased. The unburned carbon in fly ash from the CFB reactor was decreased with increasing the ratio of bituminous coal in co-combustion. But as the ratio of the bituminous coal was larger than 40 %, the combustion reactivity was not increased any more.

An experimental study was performed to explore characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions in the compression ignition engine of RCCI (reactivity controlled compression ignition) using diesel-gasoline dual fuel. A dual-fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition concepts is demonstrated as a promising method to achieve high thermal efficiency and low emissions. For investigating combustion characteristics, engine experiments were performed in a light-duty diesel engine over a range of SOIs (start of injection) and gasoline percents. The experimental results showed that cases of diesel-gasoline dual fuel combustion is capable of operating over a middle range of engine loads with lower levels of NOx and soot, acceptable pressure rise rate, low ISFC (indicated specific fuel consumption), and high indicated thermal efficiency.

This study describes the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emission in the special engine applying a fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) concept with two different energizing type (solenoid and piezoelectric) injectors for diesel injection. A diesel-gasoline mixed dual-fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition concept is demonstrated as a promising method to achieve high thermal efficiency and low emission in internal combustion engines for transportation vehicles. For investigating the combustion characteristics of RCCI, engine experiments were performed in a light-duty diesel engine over a range of injection timing and mixing rate of gasoline in mass. It was investigated that by increasing the nozzle hole diameter, increasing the combustion pressure and the net indicated mean effective pressure. $NO_x$ and soot can be reduced by advancing start of injection in 84 mixing rate of gasoline in mass. The resulting operation showed that light duty engine could achieve 48 percent net indicated efficiency and 191[g/kW-hr] net indicated specific fuel consumption with lower levels of nitrogen oxides and soot.

Ball milling of elemental powders in advance and using an induction heating system for intermetallic coatings are known to enhance the reactivity of combustion synthesis. In this work, the effects of simultaneously applying these two incentive methods on the properties of intermetallic coatings are studied. Ni-Al powder compacts ball-milled with three different ball-to-powder weight ratio mixtures are synthesized and coated on mild steel by combustion synthesis in an induction heating system. Consequently, similar to an electrical heating system, the positive effects of ball milling on the combustion synthesis are confirmed in the induction heating system. The enhancement in synthetic reactivity achieved by applying the two incentive methods at the same time is greater than that by applying each incentive method separately. In particular, the enhancement is remarkable at low reaction temperature. However, there are limitations to improving the reactivity by simultaneously applying the two incentive methods to the combustion synthesis, unlike the reaction temperature. The microstructure and hardness of the coating layer are both influenced by the ball-charging ratio employed in the ball-milling process.

The reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) is the technology that provides two different types of fuel to the combustion chamber with the advantage of significantly reducing particulate matter and nitrogen oxides emissions. However, due to the characteristics of lean combustion, combustion efficiency is worsened. The conventional type of pistons for conventional diesel combustion (CDC) has mostly been used in the researches on RCCI. Because the pistons for CDC are optimized to enhance flow and target spray, the pistons are unsuitable for RCCI. In this study, a piston that is suitable for RCCI is designed to improve combustion efficiency. The new piston was designed by considering the factors such as squish geometry, bowl depth, and surface area. The experiment was carried out by fixing the energy supply to 0.9kJ/cycle and 1.5kJ/cycle respectively. The two pistons were quantitatively compared in terms of thermal efficiency and combustion efficiency.

There have been many studies of combustion in the circulating fluidized bed. However, little study is available for combustion of wood pellet together fed with wood chip. The mixed ratio of two fuels is an useful information when thermal power company would receive the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS) from government. In this study, the combustion behavior and kinetics of such biomass fuels are evaluated using fluidized bed reactor and thermogravimetric analyzers. The mixing ratio of wood chip relative to wood pellet was varied at different temperatures. The results show that a combustion reactivity changed significantly at the wood chip mixing ratio of 40%, particularly at low temperature condition.

Coal combustion in an iron ore sintering bed is a key parameter that determines quality of the sintered ores and productivity of the process. In this study, effects of the different types of coal coke and anthracite - on the combustion in the iron ore sintering bed are investigated by modeling and experiment. Fuel characteristics of coke and anthracite are observed through a few basic analysis and thermo-gravimetric analysis. It was found that coke has a higher reactivity than anthracite due to the difference of surface area and density. Those characteristics are reflected to the 1-D unsteady simulation of the iron ore sintering bed. Calculation results show that different reactivity of the fuel can affect the bed combustion, which implies the further investigation should be performed for obtaining optimal combustion conditions in the sintering bed.

A comparative DNS study of the ignition characteristics of dual-fueled reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) and stratification charge compression ignition (SCCI) is investigated using a 116-species reduced primary reference fuel (PRF) mechanism. In the RCCI combustion, two PRF fuels (n-heptane and iso-octane) with opposite autoignition characteristics are separatedly supplied and in-cylinder blended such that spatial variations in fuel reactivity, fuel concentration and temperature are achieved. In the SCCI combustion, however, just a single fuel (PRF50) is used such that only fuel concentration and temperature inhomoginieties are obtained. Because three factors, rather than only two as in SCCI combustion, govern the overall RCCI combustion, combustion timing and combustion duration or heat release rate of RCCI combustion are flexibly and effectively controlled. It is found that the overall RCCI combustion occurs much earlier and its combustion duration is longer compared to SCC combustionI. Moreover, the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) has a positive effect on enhancing RCCI combustion by inducing a shorter combustion timing and a longer combustion duration as a result of the occurrence of a predominant low-speed deflagration-combustion mode.
