Review of the backfire occurrences and control strategies for port hydrogen injection internal combustion engines

Jianbing Gao et al.

Summary: Hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines offer zero carbon emissions and excellent combustion characteristics, but the occurrence of backfire in port hydrogen injection engines can limit engine performance improvement, requiring effective control strategies. Backfire control strategies have specific application conditions to ensure their effectiveness and prevent negative impacts.

Effects of hydrogen assisted combustion of EBNOL IN SI engines under variable compression ratio and ignition timing

Jayashish Kumar Pandey et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the effects of hydrogen-assisted combustion of an equivolume blend of ethanol/butanol (ENBOL) under different compression ratios, ignition timing, and hydrogen fractions. The results showed that increasing the compression ratio and hydrogen addition improved combustion performance but reduced volumetric efficiency. Retarding ignition timing improved brake power and brake thermal efficiency but resulted in lower peak pressure and heat release rate, as well as increased CO and UBHC emissions.

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.

Simulation on the effect of compression ratios on the performance of a hydrogen fueled opposed rotary piston engine

Jianbing Gao et al.

Summary: Hydrogen internal combustion engines are gaining attention for their zero carbon dioxide emission and high thermal efficiency. This study investigated the combustion characteristics of a small-scale opposed rotary piston engine with different compression ratios using numerical simulation. The results showed that increasing the compression ratio improved the maximum in-cylinder pressure and indicated thermal efficiency, but also increased nitrogen oxide emissions.

Understanding the role of turbulence-induced blade configuration in improving combustion process for hydrogen-enriched rotary engine

Cheng Shi et al.

Summary: The effects of turbulence-induced blade (TIB) configuration on ignition, combustion process, and emission performance in rotary engines were investigated using numerical simulations. The results show that introducing TIB improves turbulent flow, with the leading-blade rotor chamber exhibiting better combustion and emission characteristics. The TIB configuration has a greater impact on combustion improvement in pure gasoline engines.

Experimental understanding of the relationship between combustion/ flow/flame velocity and knock in a hydrogen-fueled Wankel rotary engine

Hao Meng et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the experimental research of the combustion velocity of a hydrogen-fueled Wankel rotary engine and proposes a measurement method using dual spark plugs. The study found that using dual spark plugs can reduce the negative impact of flame propagation against the flow field. The combustion velocity of the engine is affected by the excess air ratio and engine speed, and the flame velocity and flow velocity both have a positive correlation with the knock level of the engine.

Numerical investigations of an opposed rotary piston expander for the purpose of the applications to a small-scale Rankine cycle

Jianbing Gao et al.

Summary: A opposed rotary piston expander was proposed for small-scale ORC systems to recover waste heat energy from internal combustion engines of on-road vehicles. The expander had similar evolutions of cylinder volume, fluid mass, in-cylinder pressure, and temperature during operation; however, high rotation speed led to reductions in in-cylinder pressure, volumetric efficiency, and adiabatic efficiency compared to low speed operation.

Effect of hydrogen direct injection strategies and ignition timing on hydrogen diffusion, energy distributions and NOx emissions from an opposed rotary piston engine

Jianbing Gao et al.

Summary: The study found that hydrogen distribution in the combustion chambers was most uneven at a start of injection of -68.2 degrees crank angle (CA) after top dead centre (aTDC) among three injection strategies; meanwhile, it showed the lowest combustion efficiency, below 98.5%. The peak in-cylinder pressure ranged from 40 bar to 83 bar for the given scenarios. Combustion durations were between 20 degrees CA to 30 degrees CA, with ignition timing ranging from -20.85 degrees CA aTDC to -11.06 degrees CA aTDC.

Summary: Opposed rotary piston engines have high power density and can be used as an ideal power source for hybrid vehicles and range extended electric vehicles. Hydrogen applications can demonstrate the advantages of these engines but worsen nitrogen oxides emissions. Lean-burn was adopted in this investigation to achieve low nitrogen oxides emissions, with results showing that engine speed of 3000 r/min had the highest in-cylinder pressure during combustion and significant increase in heat loss rates through cylinder walls with engine speed.
