... mode that aims to control the heat release process by enhancing thermal stratification, thereby extending the load range of low temperature combustion (LTC). Wet ethanol is the ideal fuel candidate to enable TSCI because it has a high latent heat of vaporization and low equivalence ratio sensitivity...

... (i.e., short ignition delay, high oxygen concentration) to a low temperature combustion mode (i.e., long ignition delay, low oxygen concentration). The multimode combustion model shows an excellent prediction of the bulk thermodynamic properties (e.g., rate of heat release), as well as local phenomena...

... as alternatives to acetylene for soot formation processes. Since the local temperatures are much lower under low temperature combustion conditions, it is believed that significant soot mass contribution can be attributed to PAH rather than to acetylene. To quantify and validate the above observations, a reduced n...
