Effect of Spark Assisted Compression Ignition on the End-Gas Autoignition with DME-air Mixtures in a Rapid Compression Machine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Substantial effort has been devoted to utilizing homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) to improve thermal efficiency and reduce emission pollutants in internal combustion engines. However, the uncertainty of ignition timing and limited operational range restrict further adoption for the industry. Using the spark-assisted compression ignition (SACI) technique has the advantage of using a spark event to control the combustion process. This study employs a rapid compression machine to characterize the ignition and combustion process of Dimethyl ether (DME) under engine-like background temperature and pressures and combustion regimes, including HCCI, SACI, and knocking onsite. The spark ignition timing was swept to ignite the mixture under various thermodynamic conditions. This investigation demonstrates the presence of four distinct combustion regimes, including detonation, strong end-gas autoignition, mild end-gas autoignition, and HCCI. The observation indicates that HCCI exhibits a relatively low-pressure rise rate and a prolonged combustion duration.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">On the other hand, the detonation case can achieve a fast flame propagation velocity of up to 2.4 km/s, generating high-frequency pressure oscillation. Pressure traces were processed using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method to characterize the different end gas autoignition regimes under various spark timing. Moreover, hydrogen fuel blends with DME to reduce the auto-ignition tendency of DME fuel but increase the flame propagation speed. The combustion characteristics of the autoignition-initiated flames are compared with that of using neat DME fuel via pressure measurement and high-speed images. The results demonstrated that deploying hydrogen into the fuel exhibits enhanced knock resistance and reductions in pressure oscillations.</div></div>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
