ACE001: Heavy-Duty Diesel Combustion (Sandia National Laboratories)
Regulatory drivers and market demands for lower pollutant emissions, lower carbon dioxide emissions, and lower fuel consumption motivate the development of cleaner and more fuel-efficient engine operating strategies. Most current production engines use a combination of both in-cylinder and exhaust emissions control strategies to achieve these goals. The emissions and efficiency performance of in-cylinder strategies depend strongly on flow and mixing processes associated with fuel injection and heat losses.
