Dual-fuel low-temperature combustion is a possible solution for alleviating the tradeoff between oxides of nitrogen and soot emissions in conventional diesel combustion, albeit with poor combustion stability, high carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbon emissions at low engine loads. The present w...
