Realtime Machine Learning based In-Cycle Control of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition
DownloadSpring 2023
Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) has the potential to significantly reduce engine out oxides of nitrogen NOx emissions, while maintaining a high fuel efficiency compared to existing lean-burn spark ignition engines. HCCI is characterized by compression induced autoignition of a lean...
