Fuel Ignitability and Compression Ratio Dependence of a Premixed Charge Compression Ignition Engine
The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, 2004 Decreasing the compression ratio improves thermal efficiency in a premixed charge compression ignition engine for the range of investigated octane numbers up to the limit of stable ignition. This is because improvement in the degree of constant volume combustion and decreased cooling loss as the ignition timing approached TDC outweigh reductions in ...
