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 Si

The formation of a hatching line in the serosal cuticle confers multifaceted adaptive functions on the eggshell of a cicada

Abstract Insect eggshells must meet various demands of developing embryos.These demands sometimes conflict with each other; therefore, there are tradeoffs between eggshell properties, such as robustness and permeability.To meet these conflicting demands, particular eggshell structures have evolved in diverse insect species.Here, we report a rare eg
