Abstract

This work investigates the effects of the piston bowl geometry on RCCI (Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition) heat transfer and combustion losses and its repercussion on the engine efficiency. For this purpose, three piston geometries with compression ratio 14.4:1 have been studied and compared by means of computational modeling. In addition, the engine operating conditions proposed at low, medium and high load were also validated experimentally in a heavy-duty single-cylinder engine adapted for dual fuel operation. The engine speed was kept constant at 1200 rev/min during the research.
