Summary - DME HCCI combustion in Single Fuel Engine
The effect of LPG composition in a DME-LPG dual-fueled HCCI engine at various injection quantity and injection timing was observed
1. In a DME HCCI engine, higher load limit was extended by using LPG as an ignition inhibitor
2. If injection quantity of LPG exceeds certain level compared to injected quantity of DME, IMEP was decreased
3. Propane was more effective way to increase IMEP in this study

1. Combustion phase was retarded with higher portion of Hydrogen due to consumption of OH radial.
2. DME injection timing can control the ignition timing of Hydrogen-DME HCCI combustion.
3. With DME injection before BTDC 10 CAD, Low temperature reaction and high temperature reaction were observed.
4. With DME injection after BTDC 10 CAD, only high temperature reaction was observed
5. CO and HC were not burned when DME was injected before BTDC 30 CAD due to low combustion temperature
6. NOx Emission was maximum when the HRR was maximum.
7. The strategies to increase the combustion temperature such as fuel stratification are needed to improve the combustion efficiency and combustion stability.
