Experimental measurements from a converted indirect injection diesel Kubota D905 engine fueled with a simulated biomass derived gas are compared with simulation results using a multizone homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine model. Two different fuel blends were tested and each...

The calibration and comparison to experimental data of a parallel computing multi-zone combustion model for simulating operational characteristics of an n-butanol/n-heptane fuelled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine utilizing the negative valve overlap (NVO) technology is...
