The effects of the alcohol fuel fraction on the diesel homogeneous combustion compression ignition (HCCI) combustion are explained by analyzing simultaneously chemiluminescence data and cylinder pressure measurements. In parallel, experimental results are compared to the simulation results from a zerodimensional (0D) model. n-Heptane was selected to represent diesel fuel, while ethanol and 1-butanol were the considered alcohol fuels. The results showed that themain combustionwas delayedwhen the alcohol fuelswere blended, but species radiation results showed that the impacts on chemical processes were not distinguishable during themain combustion. This delaywas linked to the impact of the blended fraction of alcohols on the lowtemperature heat release (LTHR).This influence can be separated in twoways. First, the heat release rate results showed that the LTHR quantity decreased, inducing a decrease of the air-fuel mixture temperature after LTHR. Thus, the mixture required more time for the temperature to rise sufficiently to initiate the main combustion processes. Second, the chemiluminescence intensity ofCH2O* decreasedwith an increase in the fuel fraction of alcohols. Therefore, the reaction processes during the main combustion were slower because of less supplied active intermediate species.Moreover, the simulation results from the model showed a similar trend. The results can be used to increase the understanding of the chemical aspects of diesel HCCI combustion.
