Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The research focuses on the potential advantages of fuel consumption, performance and exhaust emissions offered by injecting gasoline directly into the cylinder of a purpose-built four-valve engine through a centrally located high-pressure common-rail injector positioned adjacent to the spark plug. Emphasis will be placed on identifying the link between mixture distribution and combustion for various fuel injection strategies corresponding to different speed/load engine operating conditions. Comparison will also be made between injection of liquid fuel and injection of a gaseous mixture of pre-vapourised gasoline and air/EGR through a combined centrally located spark-plug-injector.
