Abstract

A second-law based exergetic study is undertaken for a parametric examination of CNG fuelled HCCI engine. The effects of change in equivalence ratio, turbocharger pressure ratio, ambient temperature, and hydrogen enrichment on the engine performance are investigated through energy and exergy efficiencies.
