A Computational Study about Effects of Operating parameters and EGR compositions on Autoignition Reactivity for DME HCCI Combustion

This study was computationally explored how the fuel autoignition reactivity was affected by operating parameters such as fuel, pressure, intake temperatures, engine speed and EGR compositions for HCCI combustion. This is done for DME and CHEMKIN-PRO was used as a solver. At first, influence of the operating parameters and EGR compositions were showed. And then, in order to clarify the mechanism of them on autoignition reactivity, data-sets of kinetic were analyzed to investigate the elementary reaction path for heat release at transient tempeatures by using contribution matrix.
