Summary of Major Contributions to I.C. Engines Research, Application of Alternative Fuels,
and Hybrid Vehicles
 NO2 formation chemistry of dual engines: the fumigation of gaseous fuels to intake
mixture of diesel engines was found to significantly increase the emissions of NO2 due to the
enhanced conversion from NO to NO2. After mixing with NO containing combustion products,
the oxidation of the unburned gaseous fuel (survived the main combustion process) enhanced
the conversion of NO to NO2 during its post combustion oxidation process. The detailed
information of this contribution can be found in two journal papers (1) Liu, S., Li, H., Gatts, T.,
10
Liew, C., Wayne, S., Nuszkowski, J., Thompson G., and Clark, N. (2012) “An Investigation of NO2
Emissions from a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Fumigated with H2 and Natural Gas,” Combustion
Science and Technology, vol. 184, pp.2008-2035; (2) Liu, S., Li, H., Liew, C., Gatts, T., Wayne, S.,
Shade, B and Clark, N., (2011) “An Experimental Investigation of NO2 Emission Characteristics of
a Heavy-Duty H2-Diesel Dual Fuel Engine,” International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, vol. 36, pp.
12015-12024. (WVU)
 The featured three-stage heat release process of H2-diesel dual fuel engines operated
under high load with the addition of a relatively large amount of H2. The extremely high heat
release rate observed was recognized as the combination of diffusion combustion of diesel fuel
and fast burning of H2 consumed by multiple propagating turbulent flames initiated by diesel
combustion. The details of this contribution can be found in this journal paper: Liew, C., Li, H.,
Nuszkowski, J., Liu, S., Gatts, T., Atkinson, R., and Clark, N.,2010,“An Experimental Investigation
of the Combustion Process of a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Enriched with H2,” Vol. 35, pp. 1135711365, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. (WVU)
 It is infeasible to improve the overall efficiency of diesel engines through the fumigation
of H2 produced via the electrolysis of water with the consumption of electricity produced by
diesel engine. The data will be published in the future (WVU)
 Unique NOx formation phenomenon of HCCI engine operation under incomplete
combustion: the NOx emissions of HCCI engines were found to increase dramatically when
operated under incomplete combustion featured with extremely low combustion temperature,
which was inconsistent with traditional NOx formation chemistry. The increased NOx emissions
were found to correlate well with the variations of the emissions of unburned HC and N2O. The
details of this contribution can be found in this journal paper: Li, H., Guo, H.S., Neill, W.S., and
Chippior, W., 2012, “The NOx and N2O Emission Characteristics of HCCI Engine Operated with nHeptane,” Transaction of ASME, Journal of Energy Resources Technology, vol. 134, 011101,
Issue 1, 9 pages. (NRC Canada and WVU)
 The consumption of lubrication oil of SI H2 engines under knocking operation can be
examined by the measurement of the exhaust emissions of CO and CO2 originating from the
burning of lubrication oil. The onset of knock was shown to dramatically increase the
consumption of lubrication of oil resulting from the burning of extra oil of the boundary layer
destroyed by the onset of knock. The details of this contribution can be found in SAE paper: Li,
H., Karim, G.A. and Sohrabi, A., 2004, “Examination of the Oil Combustion in a S.I. Hydrogen
Engine,” SAE SP-1894, Oils, Rheology, Tribology, and Driveline Fluids, Society of Automotive

 The establishment of industry standard system and numerous industry standards widely
used to guide the CNG and LPG vehicle industry in China. (CATARC, China)
 The burning of diesel-methanol-water composite emulsion fuel in DI diesel engines was
shown to dramatically reduce the emissions of PM. The reduction in PM emissions was due to
the reduction in the formation of PM emissions during combustion process, which was
measured using a full cylinder sampling system. The details of this contribution can be found in
this journal paper: Li, H., Wang, H., Miao, F.S., Liu, Y., and Fu, M.L., 1998, “A Study on the Effect

of Burning Diesel Oil-Methanol-Water Composite Emulsified Fuel on Reduced Smoke Density in

B. Summary of Main Research Activities in West Virginia University
Dr. Li’s primary research efforts have focused on advanced combustion concepts, combustion
and emissions of internal combustion engines, the application of alternative fuels, and
simulation of hybrid vehicle. Since joining WVU as assistant professor, Dr. Li have led the
research program to investigate the combustion and exhaust emissions of both compression
ignition and spark ignition I.C. engines operated on gaseous fuels including hydrogen, natural
gas, and low BTU gaseous fuels such as landfill gas, digester gas and reformed gas. With the
ever increasing interest to the application of Marcellus shale gas as fuel, the research to the
high efficiency and clean burning of shale gas in transportation sector will be one of the major
research areas capable of attracting research funding. Dr. Li has also extended his research to
the following areas: (1) the simulation and optimization of hybrid vehicles; (2) the combustion
and emissions of small internal combustion engines; (3) the emissions of greenhouse gases such
as methane originated from combustion devices, natural gas industry and other recourses such
as wastewater treatment plant.
Dr. Li’s research activities in WVU focus on the combustion and emissions of internal
combustion engines operated on gaseous fuels. In the past five years, Dr. Li has won and
completed two research projects. Project 1: combustion and emissions of heavy-duty diesel
engines supplemented with hydrogen funded by Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC),
Houston, Texas. In this project, Dr. Li’s research team investigated the effect of the addition of
H2 and natural gas on the combustion and exhaust emissions of two heavy-duty diesel engines.
The effect of engine load, engine speed and the addition of H2 and natural gas on the engine
performance, fuel economy, combustion process, and exhaust emissions of PM, NOx, CO, HC
and unburned H2 and CH4 were investigated. Project 2: Combustion and emissions of SI engines
operated on low BTU gases funded by DOE through Gas Technology Institute (GTI), Chicago, IL.
In this project, the research team investigated the effect of intake pressure, air/fuel ratio, the
addition of diluents, and sparks timing on the knock limited spark timing, engine performance,
combustion process and exhaust emissions. The data obtained will be used to support the
development and validation of a simulation model capable of simulating the combustion and
emissions of SI engines operated on low BTU gaseous fuels. The validated model will be used to
optimize the performance of SI low BTU engines, provide the technical support to the control
strategies of SI engines integrated with fuel quality sensors, and NOx emissions control
strategies.
In the research associated with combustion and emissions of dual fuel engines, Dr. Li’s research
team has made significant contribution to the NO2 formation chemistry in dual fuel engines.
The addition of H2, CH4 and CO to diesel engines was found to significantly increase the
emissions of NO2 especially at low load operation with the addition of a small amount of
gaseous fuels. WVU is the first institution which established the correlation between NO2
emissions and the emissions of unburned gaseous fuels and relative emissions of gaseous fuels.
The correlation of NO2 emissions with the emissions of unburned HC fuel was also confirmed in
12
diesel operation. The numerical simulation conducted recently confirmed that the increased
NO2 emissions are formed after the mixing of NO-containing combustion products with
unburned gaseous fuels that survived the main combustion process. The increased NO2
emissions is formed at a specific crank angle range when the temperature is sufficient to initiate
the oxidation reaction of H-containing fuels but not too high to spontaneously oxidize the fuels.
Two papers showing the unique NO2 emissions characteristics of dual fuel engines have been
accepted and published in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy and Journal of Combustion
Science and Technology, respectively.
After joining WVU in 2007, Dr. Li has extended his research to new research area associated
with the simulation and optimization of hybrid vehicles. Dr. Li’s research focus in this topic
focus on the following two areas: (a) the prediction of the fuel economy and exhaust emissions
of hybrid transit vehicles operating different service routes and emissions testing cycles. In this
research area, Dr. Li’s research team developed a PSAT based simulation model capable of
predicting the fuel economy and NOx emissions of a hybrid bus using engine fuel consumption
and emissions maps. Such a model was validated against experimental data measured in China.
The validated model was used to predict the fuel economy and NOx emissions of the hybrid bus
operated under typical US bus cycles. Such a model has also been applied to investigate the
effect of vehicle coast down parameters on the predicted fuel economy of hybrid bus operated
under typical USA bus cycles; (b) the development and implementation of on-time control
strategies based on the history and latest record of vehicle operation data. In this newly
developed research area, Dr. Li’s research team has developed approaches to the development
and implementation of on-time control strategies of hybrid vehicles based on the history and
latest vehicle operation data. This approach is based on the assumption that future operation
features of transit buses served at specific routes can be predicted based on the operation
characteristics derived from the history record of vehicle operation and the latest operation
data recorded in the featured operation range. The predicted vehicle operation features can be
used to develop the optimized control strategies of transit buses targeting to minimize the fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions. The implementation of the on-time control strategies will
make it possible for hybrid vehicle to operate under the timely optimized control strategies.
Such a technology will also make it possible for hybrid vehicles to develop the route-specific
control strategies based on the characteristics of the service route and the specific geometric
features. I believe that this is a new research area having the potential to attract research
funding from both government agencies and industry partners. In this area, Dr. Li has graduated
two MS students (Pingen Chen and Clay Bell) and currently advising one Ph.D student (Wei Qi)
in this research area.
The research of the Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines and Emissions (CAFEE) has focused on
the combustion and emissions of heavy-duty diesel engines and heavy-duty vehicles and the
application of alternative fuels. In comparison, the research to the small general engines is very
limited. After joining WVU in 2007, Dr. Li has managed to extend his research toward small IC
engines. The research in small IC engines also focuses on the engine performance, combustion
and exhaust emissions. In this area, Dr. Li has successfully won research grants sponsored by US
Army through Lynntech, Inc., a private company in Texas. In Phase I of this project, Dr. Li’s
research team investigated the effect of the addition of hydrogen and CO on the fuel economy,
13
combustion and exhaust emissions of a 2 kW diesel power generator operated on JP-8 fuel.
Lynntech and WVU have been selected for Phase II of this project and the negotiation of the
contract and scope of work has been completed. In Phase II, the research team will continue to
investigate the effect of the addition of reformed gas on the combustion and emissions of this
small power generator when operated with JP-8 as the main fuel and the demonstration of this
technology. It is expected that this research area will continue to attract more research funding.
It should be pointed out that the research contributions are achieved while having been
assigned a heavy teaching load (two courses per semester or four courses per year. In the past
five years, I lectured 5 major courses including 2 junior key courses, 1 MAE technical elective
course, and 2 graduate student courses. Dr. Li has also developed 1 new graduate student
course “I.C. Engine Combustion and Emissions”. The cut in research funding from both
government agencies and industry sponsors due to the economy also affected the research
funding.
