Disclosed here is an adaptive mixed-mode combustion method, which is mainly for internal combustion engines, either compression ignition or spark ignition, or mixed- mode engines using both compression ignition and spark ignition. The combustion method is composed of steps of partially charging fuel reformates through intake ports, or charging fuels with high ignition temperature through intake ports, wherein it has adaptive means to introduce fuels into combustion chamber space through both intake port fuel charge and direct fuel injections, based on engine loads and speeds, to produce a separate twin triangular heat release curves to effectively reduce emissions and fuel consumptions. A combustion engine using the disclosed combustion method is also provided. A corresponding method and fuel reformer of using exhaust energy for fuel reforming is also disclosed. Also disclosed is a rotating fuel reformer, comprising a rotating catalyst block to accelerate the fuel reforming rate and reduce the reformer weight and catalyst usage. The reformer also has devices to pressurize and atomize fuel through centrifugal forces. |
