This paper deals with a diesel engine dual-fueled with natural gas. This system can achieve a high thermal e$ciency at higher loads by utilizing the premixed lean natural gas mixture ignited by pilot-injected diesel fuel. At low loads, however, high THC emission and low thermal e$ciency were observe

In recent years, efforts have been directed towards environmentally freindly sources of alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. This paper investigates combustion characteristics and performance of natural gas in an unmodified compression ignition engine using diesel fuel pilot injection.
The authors earlier proposed a novel type of compression ignition combustion called Premixed lean Diesel Combustion, or `PREDICa. Using early injection timing, a substantial reduction in part-load NO V was realized [1]. However, since high load operation was limited by knocking, the excess air ratio
Although dual-fuel (DF) engines using a low cetane number primary fuel such as natural gas (NG) ignited by a pilot diesel spray have been the subject of much investigation over years, there are still many unknown problems related to the fundamental combustion process of two fuels. In this work, a qu
