Hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel combustion processes were studied in a rapid compression and expansion engine (RCEM). In the experiments, the combustion processes were visualized using an optically accessible RCEM that can simulate a single compression and expansion stroke of a diesel engine. A small amount of diesel was injected as a pilot ignition for the hydrogen, with injection pressures of 40, 80, and 120 MPa using a common rail injection system. The amount of diesel injected was varied as 3, 6, and 13 mm3. The hydrogen-air mixture was introduced into the combustion chamber through the intake valve. The amount of hydrogen was manipulated by varying the total excess air ratio(λtotal) at 3 and 4. The RCEM was operated at a constant speed of 900 rpm, and the in-cylinder pressure and temperature at TDC were set at 5 MPa and 700 K, respectively.
