Abstract

Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) engines hold promise for decreasing NOx and particulate emissions. RCCI engines use direct injection (DI) to introduce a high reactivity fuel into the cylinder while a lower reactivity fuel is port fuel injected (PFI). A large reactivity difference between high reactive (diesel) and low reactive (natural gas) fuels provides a strong control variable for phasing and shaping combustion heat release in RCCI engines.
