EGR thermal and chemical effects on combustion and emission of diesel/ natural gas dual-fuel engine

Wei Zhang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the combined effect of EGR is mainly determined by the thermal and chemical effects of CO2 and H2O, with CO2 having a greater thermal effect than H2O and a more significant impact in dual-fuel mode.

Experimental study the impacts of the key operating and design parameters on the cycle-to-cycle variations of the natural gas SI engine

Xiongbo Duan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impacts of key operating and design parameters on the cycle-to-cycle variations in a high compression ratio SI natural gas engine under lean mixture conditions. The results showed that with increasing engine speed, there were fewer incomplete combustion cycles and the in-cylinder pressure distribution became more concentrated. Increasing load led to more concentrated pressure distribution and peak combustion pressure. Additionally, the relationship between peak combustion pressure and load was nearly linear, but increasing load caused the in-cylinder pressure traces to disperse slightly. Under low-load conditions, increasing compression ratio led to more concentrated pressure traces and fewer incomplete combustion cycles, while the effects were slight under high-load conditions.

Chemical feature of the soot emissions from a diesel engine fueled with methanol-diesel blends

Chenyang Fan et al.

Summary: The chemistry of soot particles plays a crucial role in the emissions of engines, specifically in relation to soot growth and oxidation behaviors. Adding methanol to diesel fuel is believed to alter these behaviors, but the exact mechanisms are not well understood. This study characterized the chemical features of soot emissions from a methanol-diesel blend fueled diesel engine, revealing the impact of methanol blending content on the surface and bulk species of the soot particles under different engine load conditions.

Combined effects of excess air ratio and EGR rate on combustion and emissions behaviors of a GDI engine with CO2 as simulated EGR (CO2) at low load

Changming Gong et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that simulated EGR (CO2) has a weaker impact on combustion compared to actual EGR, and results in increased peak cylinder pressure, heat release rate, and cylinder temperature under the same EGR rate and excess air ratio conditions. Additionally, simulated EGR (CO2) can improve the COVimep of the engine, while having minimal effect on CO and HC emissions in lean-burn and stoichiometric conditions. Overall, NOX and soot emissions decrease significantly with EGR rate, but soot emissions from simulated EGR (CO2) are higher than actual EGR under any excess air ratios.
