The SAE International Journal of Fuels and Lubricants is a leading international scholarly journal providing reports of research with focus on fuels and lubricants in automotive engineering. The journal aims to be the primary source of information for comprehensive and innovative research in the areas of fuels, lubricants, additives, and catalysts, by providing a peer-reviewed platform for academicians, scientists, and industrial researchers to present their work.
Due to the global impacts of CO2 and harmful effects of exhaust pollutants of on road vehicles, emission regulations are getting stricter. In order to obtain both low emission levels and low CO2, advanced combustion technologies providing high thermal efficiency are required. Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) is the most promising technology for Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) to reduce soot and nitrogen oxides (NOx) simultaneously while maintaining the high thermal efficiency. Almost all LTC strategies such as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI), Reactivity Controlled Combustion Ignition (RCCI), Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI), Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC), Gasoline Compression Ignition (GCI) etc. are still under development and their main challenges are low controllability, narrow operation range, comparatively high CO and HC emissions, requirement of pre-heating for intake air etc. This special issue focuses on the latest developments in LTC modes to overcome the limitations. Six studies are included in Part 2 of this special issue.
