Prediction of Major Pollutants Emission in Direct-Injection Dual-Fuel Diesel And Natural-Gas Engines

Authors

Abstract:

The dual-fuel diesel engine (D.F.D.E) is a conventional diesel engine in which much of the energy released, hence power, comes from the combustion of gaseous fuel such as natural gas. The exhaust emission characteristics of the D.F.D.E needs further refinements, particularly in terms of reduction of Unburnt Hydrocarbons (U7HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission, because the concentration of these pollutants are higher than that of the baseline diesel engine. Furthermore, the combustion process in a typical D.F.D.E tends to be complex, showing combination of the problems encountered both in diesel and spark ignition (SI.) engines. In this work, a computer code has been modified for simulation of D.F.D.E combustion process. This model simulates D.F.D.E combustion by using a Multi-Zone Combustion Model (MZCM) for diesel pilot jet combustion and a conventional S .1. combustion model for modeling of combustion of premixed gas/air charge . Also, in this model, there are four sub models for prediction of major emission pollutants such as: UHC, NO, CO and soot which are emitted from D.F.D.E. For prediction of formation and oxidation rates of pollutants, relevant conventional kinetically-controlled mechanisms and mass balances are used. The model has been verified by experimental data obtained from a heavy-duty truck and bus diesel engines. The comparison shows that, there exist good agreements between the experimental and predicted results from the D.F.D.E

Development of a Mathematical Model for Prediction of Pollutants Emission in D. I. Diesel Engines

Major pollutants emission from Direct-Injection (D.I) diesel engines are predicted by means of a mathematical model. In order to construct such a model, an integral Multi-Zone Combustion Model (MZCM) is formulated, which basically consists of jet mixing and combustion submodels. In MZCM, variation of injection pressure is considered. Also time period of ignition delay is predicted by considerin...
