With Daubechies 10 as wavelet, in-cylinder pressure is
decomposed into four layers that contain four details D1, D2,
D3, D4 and an approximation A4.

To quantify intensity of pressure oscillation
The amplitude of pressure subsignal pDj at layer j is defined as half of the
difference between its maximum and minimum.
Wavelet relative energy Rj at layer j is defined as the ratio of detail energy Ej
of the in-cylinder pressure signal to the total detail energy E of the four layers
[14], expressed as

blends containing more than 50% of DME, nozzle orifice
number×diameter is changed from 4×0.35 mm to 5×0.43 mm, and
nozzle opening pressure is decreased from 19 to 15 MPa to increase

With the increase of DME proportion, the peak in-cylinder pressure decreases with
retarded peak pressure phase. But DME20 is the exception.
At two BMEP, increased DME proportion causes reduced premixed combustion, the
peak heat release rate and retarded phasing, but increased diffusive combustion and
the peak heat release in diffusive combustion increases.

Effect of DME proportion on smoke emissions and NOx emissions
As BMEP increases, smoke emission increases, but changes little for blended
fuels containing more than 50% of DME.
At the same BMEP, the increased DME proportion reduces smoke emissions,
especially at high BMEP.
NOx emissions increase with increased BMEP
At the same BMEP, NOx emissions decrease with increased DME proportion.

Effect of DME proportion on amplitude of subsignal
At 0.135 MPa BMEP, the amplitude of pD4 is obviously greater than those of pD1,
pD2 and pD3.
With decreased DME proportion from DME 100 to DME70, DME50, the amplitude
of pD4 gradually increases. As fuel changes from DME50 to DME20, the amplitude
of pD4 decreases, but the amplitude of pD3 increases. As DME20 changes to DME0,
the amplitude of pD3 and pD4 both increase.

Wavelet relative energy of in-cylinder pressure with blend fuels
The wavelet relative energy at detail D4 is the largest for all five test fuels .
With increased DME proportion in fuel blends, the relative energy at D4 increases,
with a reduction of relative energy at D1, D2 and D3.
As BMEP increases from 0.135MPa to 0.27MPa, the relative energy at D4 is still
the largest for all five test fuels, relative energy at others are still small.

Just as the peak heat release rate, pressure rise rate and pressure rise acceleration, so
the peak amplitudes of subsignals at four layers are located within premixed combustion
phase. The peaks of subsignals represent pressure oscillation of premixed combustion.
Relation of heat release analysis and wavelet analysis

5. Conclusions ① With the increase of DME proportion, the peak in-cylinder pressure and
pressure rise rate decrease with retarded phase, thus producing a soft engine
operation. A two-stage combustion of DME-biodiesel blends is exhibited,
including premixed combustion and diffusive combustion. Increased DME
proportion causes reduced premixed combustion, the peak heat release rate
and retarded phasing, but increased diffusive combustion and the peak heat
release in diffusive combustion increases.
② As BMEP increases, smoke emissions increase, but change little for blended
fuels containing more than 50% of DME. At the same BMEP, the increased DME
proportion reduces smoke emissions, especially at high BMEP. NOx emissions
increases with increased BMEP, and at the same BMEP, NOx emissions
decrease with increased DME proportion.
③ The curves of pD3 and pD4 change slowly with relatively large oscillation
amplitude, but rapidly change of pD1 and pD2 with small oscillation amplitude.
The heat release analysis is associated with in-cylinder pressure four-layer
wavelet analysis of blended fuels. Just as the peak heat release rate, pressure
rise rate and pressure rise acceleration, so the peak amplitudes of subsignals at
four layers are located within premixed combustion phase. The amplitudes of
subsignals represent pressure oscillation of premixed combustion.

④ The wavelet relative energy at fourth layer is the largest. With the increase of
DME proportion, wavelet relative energy at fourth layer increases, but wavelet
relative energy at other layers decreases.
