Combustion and Emission Characteristics of Methanol–Diesel Dual Fuel Engine at Different Altitudes by Zhongcheng Wang, Zhu Jie, Xiaoyu Liu

“…However, when the intake temperature rises from 400 K to 500 K, a decrease in the thermal efficiency is observed. Particularly, at an injection timing of −30 °CA, both the peak cylinder pressure and peak cylinder temperature are higher, the ignition occurs earlier, the combustion process shifts forward, and the combustion efficiency and indicated thermal efficiency are at higher levels. …”
