A Numerical Study of a Free Piston IC Engine Operating on Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Combustion

Abstract

A free piston, internal combustion (IC) engine, operating at high compression ratio (∼30:1) and low equivalence ratio (ϕ∼0.35), and utilizing homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion, has been proposed by Sandia National Laboratories as a means of significantly improving the IC engine's cy
