DEVELOPMENT OF AN AIR PREHEATER FOR HCCI IN SPARK IGNITION ENGINES

Abstract

Although the title self defines its aim, the main purpose of an air preheater would be to heat addition to the inflowing air into the cylinder of an S.I. Engine so than we an achive a sucessful combustion ignition it. Now focusing on the objective for this research the aim is to sucessfully achive HCCI in a petrol engine , petrol has the higher kindling temprature than diesel this requires spark to ignite. I through this study wish to achieve autoignition of petrol bye provding a higher compression ratio and in addition to that heated charge of air , heated throug the pre-heater. It should have capabilities to transmit sufficient power
