Abstract
Concerns from both society and the government about the pollutants from automobile exhaust is becoming more and more noticeable in recent years. Compared with the engines mostly used currently, which are gasoline engines and diesel engines, the HCCI engine has ameliorated not only the problem of pollutant emissions but also efficiency to a large extent. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines. It first introduces the fundamental processes governing HCCI combustion and illustrates its working mechanism. While HCCI engines promise heightened efficiency, reduced emissions, and fuel versatility, they also present challenges such as combustion timing and related emissions. Commercial implementations by Nissan and Honda are discussed, shedding light on real-world applicability. Furthermore, the potential amalgamation of biodiesel with HCCI is explored, signaling a promising future for renewable fuels in advanced combustion engines. Despite the rise of hybrid vehicles, the unique benefits of HCCI position it as a significant player in future transportation. This paper emphasizes the necessity of ongoing research to overcome HCCI’s challenges, ensuring it remains at the forefront of green automotive solutions.
