Abstract
The influence of dimethyl ether additive in methane−air mixture on the combustion process of HCCI engine is reported. Computational experiment has been conducted on two models of the working process of HCCI engine. One of them is a single-zone chemical-kinetic model and the other is a mathematical model based on formal chemical kinetics. The results of the numerical experiment are supported by data from full-scale experiment.
