These factors exacerbate the asymmetry of the environment. So, the paper reports an experiment about the improvement of post injection strategy on combustion, regulated emissions (HC, CO, and NOx), and particle number emissions especially the emissions of different size particles in the transient process of an EGR diesel engine, meanwhile, the effects of post injection on the combustion of mixture are further analyzed by numerical simulation method. The test speed was 1600 r\/min, and the torque increased from 5% of the maximum torque to 100%. The results indicated that the shorter the instantaneous loading time, the more severe the deterioration of particulate emissions, HC and CO emissions, but loading time has little effect on NOx emissions. The particles with the size range of 50\u2013100 nm, 23\u201350 nm, and &gt;100 nm are greatly affected by the loading process and post injection. In comparison, it has little effect on ultrafine particles with particle size of 15\u201323 nm and &lt;15 nm. With the amount of post injection increased, the in-cylinder disturbance increased, and the oxygen-rich area in cylinder increased, the particle number concentration first decreased and then slightly increased. When the amount of post injection fuel is 2 mg and the main-post injection interval is 2000 us, the effects of suppressing particulate emissions are the best, for the 50\u2013100 nm and &gt;100 nm particles, the peak number concentration can be reduced by 25% and 50%, respectively. Due to the turbo charging lag, the peak of NOx emissions during the unloading process were slightly larger than the loading process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym12122002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,10]],"date-time":"2020-12-10T20:18:22Z","timestamp":1607631502000},"page":"2002","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Research of Post Injection Strategy of an EGR Diesel Engine to Improve Combustion and Particulate Emissions Performance: Application on the Transient Operation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Shuang","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Automotive Simulation and Control, Jilin University, Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Automotive Simulation and Control, Jilin University, Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7318-1290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongming","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Automotive Simulation and Control, Jilin University, Changchun 130025, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tian","family":"You","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Vocational Institute of Technology, Changchun 130022, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"84","article-title":"CO2 reduction and cast analysis for installed future technology of automobile","volume":"64","author":"Kanari","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
