Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion enables internal combustion engines to achieve higher thermal efficiency and lower NOxemission than with conventional combustion systems. Controlling the ignition timing in accordance with the operating conditions is crucial for utilizing HCCI combustion engines. Adding hydrogen-containing gas is known to retard the autoignition of dimethyl ether (DME) considerably. The effective ignition control by hydrogen can expand the operation range of equivalence ratios and engine loads in HCCI combustion. This research investigated the mechanisms in the ignition control by the chemical kinetics analysis. The results show that the retarded ignition can be attributed to a consumption of OH by hydrogen during low-temperature oxidation of DME. The decreased OH concentration leads to retarded heat release and delays the onset of the high-temperature oxidation.
