Many years will be needed for biofuels or other renewable sources to be able to fully replace fossil fuels. This work aims to study alternative ways of converting energy contained in fuels used in internal combustion engines. Higher efficiencies in converting the energy contained in the fuel and lower emission of harmful exhaust gases are benefits associated with the Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition, known for RCCI. In this type of combustion, two fluids with different ignition-reactivity characteristics are introduced into the combustion chamber at different times. To better understand this phenomenon, it was used a RCM, that is able to control, more easily, relevant parameters such as compression ratio, temperatures, pressures, injection times etc. As a second fuel, which partially replaces the diesel, which is traditionally used in compression ignition engines, it was used the ethanol. The RCM was then adapted to receive two systems for direct injection into the combustion chamber. Studies have shown that different forms of injection of the two fuels produce very different processes to the same amount of fuel injected. The results are presented in the form of indicated pressure as a function of position. Heat released and ignition delay are also presented. Experiments were conducted for one or two injections of ethanol per cycle at different times. High substitution rates of the fossil fuel were obtained when compared to injections of external mixtures of diesel and ethanol or fumigation technique, where the second fuel is mixed externally with the combustion air.
