Effect of natural gas energy fractions on combustion performance and emission characteristics in an optical CI engine fueled with natural gas/diesel dual-fuel

Zhaojun Zhu et al.

Summary: Increasing the natural gas energy fraction (NGEF) delays the start of combustion and decreases peak pressure; NGEF significantly affects the distribution of the ignition kernel, with higher NGEF scattering the ignition kernel; Lower soot volume fraction and unburned hydrocarbon emissions can be obtained by increasing NGEF from 0% to 70%, but further increasing NGEF to 85% deteriorates combustion.

Experimental assessment on performance and combustion behaviors of reactivity-controlled compression ignition engine operated by n-pentanol and cottonseed biodiesel

Nataraj Ganesan et al.

Summary: The use of Reactivity-Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) technique in diesel engines has shown significant reductions in NOx and smoke emissions, while improving engine thermal efficiency. However, increased emissions of unburnt hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide were observed at certain load conditions. Overall, RCCI mode resulted in a simultaneous reduction of smoke opacity and NOx emission, with a marginal improvement in engine performance.

Modeling and parametric study of the performance-emissions trade-off of a hydrogen Wankel rotary engine

Huaiyu Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of intake port closing (IPC) timing and exhaust port opening (EPO) timing on the performance and emissions of a hydrogen Wankel rotary engine (WRE) using a one-dimensional model. The simulation results show that leakage and crevice reduce the indicated mean effective pressure, while crevice has a smaller impact on volumetric efficiency compared to leakage. Advancing the IPC increases in-cylinder mass and indicated mean effective pressure, but also leads to higher relative NOx emissions. In contrast, the effects of EPO timing on performance and emissions are reversed.
