Evaluation of SI-HCCI-SI mode-switching using conventional actuation on a CNG engine

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) operation is desirable for its high thermal efficiency and low emissions of NOx and particulates. Difficulty with cold starting and maximum achievable speed/load highlight the desire for mode-switching to traditional spark ignition (SI) operation. Mode...
