Ability of Particulate Matter Index to describe sooting tendency of various gasoline formulations in a stratified-charge spark-ignition engine

Namho Kim et al.

Summary: In a stratified-charge spark-ignition engine, PMI is shown to be a poor predictor of sooting tendency for tested fuels, with some fuels exhibiting behavior opposite to that predicted by PMI. Differences in the amount of soot formed are identified as the main reason for discrepancies between measured and predicted sooting tendency.

What fuel properties enable higher thermal efficiency in spark-ignited engines?

James P. Szybist et al.

Summary: The Co-Optimization of Fuels and Engines (Co-Optima) initiative aims to maximize energy efficiency and renewable fuel utilization by developing fuels and engines together. The Central Fuel Property Hypothesis (CFPH) is used to assess the potential benefits of candidate fuels regardless of their chemical composition. A thermodynamic-based assessment quantifies how six individual fuel properties can affect efficiency in spark-ignition (SI) engines, leading to a unified merit function for assessing the fuel property-based efficiency potential of fuels with conventional and unconventional compositions.

Effects of fuel composition and engine operating conditions on particle number index in a direct injection spark ignition engine

Ziyoung Lee et al.

Summary: The research proposed an index for predicting particle number (PN) emissions from a direct injection spark ignition engine for various fuel compositions and injection strategies based on the correlation between PN emissions and various parameters. Experiments were conducted using a single-cylinder engine with different fuel blends and injection timings, showing that dodecane blended fuel increased PN emissions due to its higher viscosity, while divinylbenzene blend promoted particle growth leading to increased particles emitted. The proposed PN index showed high predictability with a correlation coefficient of 0.9354.
