Abstract: This article focused on the simulation, experimental study of performance parameters, exhaust gas recirculation, heat release rate for multicylinder preheated turbocharge direct injection ultra-high compression ignition engine. Simulation results, methodology, combustion models, sub-models were used to find optimised performance parameters for better combustion. Optimum piston bowl parameters were identified by conducting a test with constant compression ratio (28.54:1) and constant speed mode (1500 rpm) by varying Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) ratio between 0 to 15%, and emission characteristics were found. Optimised EGR ratio among the variations and predicted suitable ignition timing and duration for ethanol HCI engine were selected from simulation results. Variation of In-cylinder pressure, heat release rate with Crank Angle and Specific Fuel Consumption, Ignition Delay, along with NOx and Particulate Matter emission results were obtained from the simulation and experimental results. Simulation results were exploited to choose better combustion with less fuel consumption. A partial preheating of exhaust gas is performed to boost the intake air temperature to 65 deg C. The experiments were done with a randomly selected set of 7 injection holes and their expected ignition delay. Ignition delay was reduced, and the NOx reduction hit about 76 percent, while the EGR rise provided a 0.6-0.9 percent increase while burning higher percentages of fuel.
