IDENTIFICATION OF SUITABLE IGNITION CONDITIONS FOR STABLE SWITCH FROM SI TO HCCI OF A BLOWDOWN SUPERCHARGED ENGINE

Identification of Suitable Ignition Conditions for Stable Switch from SI to HCCI of a Blowdown Supercharged Engine

In this paper, the necessary in-cylinder conditions for the transition from spark ignion (SI) to homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) are analyzed.The hereby important factors for ignition time are investigated analytically.A control oriented combustion model, that is validated by experimental data, is used for sensivity analysis and a Mo

Some behavioral aspects of energy descent: How a biophysical psychology might help people transition through the lean times ahead

We may soon face biophysical limits to perpetual growth.Energy supplies may tighten and then begin a long slow descent while defensive expenditures rise to address problems caused by past resource consumption.The outcome may be significant changes in daily routines at the individual and community level.It is difficult to know when this Hockey Acces
