HCCI and low-temperature diesel engines


In homogeneous-charge, compression-ignition
(HCCI) engines, a diluted fuel-air mixture is used to
keep combustion temperatures low
o Either use very fuel-lean mixtures (extra air dilutes the
combustion) or exhaust-gas recirculation (nitrogen, steam,
carbon dioxide dilute combustion)
o No high-temperature flame, combustion happens in many
small hot spots and is controlled by low-temperature
combustion chemistry
o Combustion stability and emissions are thus strongly
dependent on the low-temperature combustion properties
of the fuel blend, so fuel mixtures can be designed to
provide desired ignition properties
o Ignition control possible through in-cylinder reforming of
some fuel with exhaust gases during compression

Low-temperature diesels use same ideas, but are


not as well mixed higher emissions
o Control possible through adjusting fuel-injection timing

The Third Law of Thermodynamics

Entropy is lowest for solids, and highest for gases.


So, as we add energy to the system, we tend to convert from one phase to the next.

Third Law:
The entropy of a pure crystalline substance at absolute zero temperature is zero.

Third law states that at T = 0K the entropy for a pure crystalline solid
(well-ordered, regular structure) becomes S = 0.

The mole
The mole is a measure of the amount of matter that something contains
i.e., how many atoms (or protons, neutrons and electrons) it is made of

Traditionally defined as one gram per atomic mass unit


Atomic mass unit is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron

Now defined as the amount of substance of a system, which contains as


many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram (or 12
grams) of carbon-12, where the carbon-12 atoms are unbound, at rest and
in their ground state.
Carbon 12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons

The number of atoms in a mole is given the name Avogadros constant and
has a value of: NA=6.02214179(30)1023 mol-1
A mole of gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure occupies a
volume of approximately 23 liters.
A mole is a big number:
Astronomers estimate that there are a mole of stars in the universe.
A mole of marshmallows would cover the entire surface of the earth to a depth of 12 miles.
One mole of moles (animal-type), placed head to tail, would stretch 11 million light years and
weigh 9/10 as much as the moon.

Moles, or atoms, are very important units in chemistry because these are
also conserved along with mass and energy
