Article Exergy-Based Evaluation of High-CO2 Biogas/Diesel RCCI Combustion Heat Flow for Enhanced Mixture Distribution, Power Output, and Fuel-Energy Performance(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Dalha, Ibrahim B.; El-Adawy, Mohammed; Wong, Nur Leena W. S.; Man, Hafsalina C.; Said, Mior A.; Koca, Kemal; Abdulsalam, MuhammedUtilising high-CO2 biogas in compression-ignition engines poses significant challenges due to poor mixture reactivity, inefficient combustion, and increased energy degradation. This work addresses these difficulties by conducting experimental research on a port-injection at the valve reactivity-controlled compression ignition (PIVE-RCCI) strategy. This study addresses these concerns by conducting experiments on a PIVE-RCCI technique to improve mixture distribution and combustion efficiency in biogas-diesel engines. The engine was modified to provide biogas through the inlet valve, allowing for controlled variations of biogas injection pressure (BIP: 1-4 bar) and port swirl ratio (PSR: 0-80%) at 1600 rpm and 4.9-5.7 bar IMEP. Energy and exergy analyses were used to determine the effect of intake flow dynamics on temperature uniformity, heat transfer, and power generation during combustion. The results reveal that normal airflow conditions minimise accounted heat loss, indicating higher thermal efficiency (ITE) and increased output power across all BIPs. In contrast, introducing a strong intake swirl dramatically improves combustion performance. The 80% PSR configuration resulted in the lowest exergy destruction and the maximum energy recovery potential, with an ITE of 26.54% at 4 bar BIP. Increasing BIP increased power output, whereas the optimal combustion work was found at 1 bar BIP and 40% PSR. The optimal working conditions were 1 bar BIP, 80% PSR, and 5.45 bar IMEP, which resulted in 26.00% exergy destruction, 39.38% destruction-to-released exergy ratio, 86.00% exergy-energy ratio of heat transfer, and 63.78% exhaust exergy-energy ratio. This work's novelty lies in integrating biogas injection, intake swirl control, and exergy-based evaluation to measure mixture distribution and energy recovery in high-COQ biogas RCCI combustion. The findings offer useful operational guidance for increasing energy efficiency and advancing the commercialization of renewable gaseous fuels in RCCI engines. As a result, operating the engine at half load, 80% PSR, and atmospheric air pressure (1 bar) conditions significantly enhanced the combustion efficiency and energy utilisation.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Biogas Intake Pressure and Port Air Swirl Optimization to Enhance the Diesel RCCI Engine Characteristics for Low Environmental Emissions(Elsevier, 2024) Dalha, Ibrahim B.; Koca, Kemal; Said, Mior A.; Rafindadi, Aminu D.Exhaust emission and combustion control in RCCI (reactivity-controlled compression ignition) focused mainly on the direct-injected fuel parameters, urging to investigate the advantages of port-fuel intake parameters. The engine was modified for port injection of Biogas at the valve and RCCI mode. The influence of port swirl ratio (PSR, 0 - 80%) and biogas injection pressure (BIP, 1 - 4 bar) on the diesel RCCI combustion and emissions was tested and optimized at varied loads and 1600 rpm in a port injection at the valve (PIVE) approach. Established kinetic mechanisms were combined with multi-objective optimization to further investigate, predict, and analyze emissions occurrence and trade-offs for reduced environmental impacts. The results show that the radiation absorption triggered by increased CO2 lowers combustion temperature, resulting in prolonged ignition. Setting the airflow to swirl lowers the in-cylinder pressure at elevated BIP while raising the heat generated across the BIPs. Increasing the PSR slows the combustion while BIP speeds up the process. BIP and PSR show great trade-off reduction ability among all emission parameters. The optimum unburned hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide, particulate, and carbon monoxide emissions for the injection at the valve were found to be 109.58, 0.577, and 2.336 ppm, and 0.103%, respectively, at low-load, low-BIP, and high-PSR. The emissions were lowered by 6.58, 91.26, 80.65, and 13.45% compared to the premixed RCCI mode, respectively. Therefore, introducing lowpressure biogas amid high swirling air at the valve elevates the in-cylinder condition while lowering the emissions, mitigating their environmental implications.
