Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition with Mark Mcvea
William Mark McVea is president and principal engineer of KBE+, Inc. He holds a PhD in Design Engineering from Purdue University's Automotive Sciences Department.
--------------------
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the basic chemistry, operational characteristics, functional benefits and applicability of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) technology
• Appreciate the potential improvements in emission and fuel consumption reduction due to the implementation of HCCI technology
• Realize that full HCCI operation may not be the optimal solution, rather a combined operational scheme with Stratified Charge engine operation may provide the optimum engine performance
