Abstract

In this paper the work deals with the computational analysis of early direct injected HCCI engine with turbocharger using the CHEMKIN-PRO software. The computational analysis was carried out in the base of auto ignition chemistry by means of reduced chemical kinetics. For this study the neat diesel and Bio ethanol diesel blend (E20) were used as fuel. The inlet pressure was increased to 1.2 bar to simulate the turbocharged engine operation. The injection time was advanced to 18° before top dead centre (BTDC) i.e., 5° BTDC than normal injection time of 23° BTDC. The equivalence ratio was kept at 0.6 (ɸ=0.6) and the combustion, emission characteristics and chemical kinetics of the combustion reaction were studied. Since pressure and temperature profiles plays a very important role in reaction path at certain operating conditions, an attempt had been made here to present a complete reaction path investigation on the formation/destruction of chemical species at peak temperature and pressure conditions. The result showed that main draw backs of HCCI combustion like higher levels of unburned hydrocarbon emissions and carbon monoxide emissions are reduced in the turbocharged operation of the HCCI engine when compared to normal HCCI engine operation without turbocharger.
