O. E, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 200240 Shanghai, PR China h i g h l i g h t s A novel advanced combustion mode, dual-fuel sequential combustion was proposed. The ignition modes of n-butanol was examined. The ignition timing of overall combustion event was determined. Ultra-low NOx and smoke-free emissions were observed over wide operating ranges. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: This paper investigates the auto-ignition mechanism, combustion process, and emissions characteristics Received 16 February 2013 of n-butanol in active-thermal atmospheres. On a single-cylinder engine, the active-thermal atmosphere Received in revised form 8 May 2013 created by low- and high-temperature reactions of premixed n-heptane from intake port was used to Accepted 9 May 2013 trigger and control the ignition and combustion of n-butanol, which is directly injected into the Available online 23 May 2013 combustion chamber near the top dead center (TDC). The experimental results reveal that the autoigni- tion o
