Abstract

The combustion of conventional fuel in Compression-Ignition (CI) engines is generally understood as a primary cause of hydrocarbon exhaust emissions. Alternative fuels and hydrocarbon fuels can be mixed to lower pollution emissions while enhancing engine efficiency. Here, the various variables which impact emissions and engine efficiency are fully illustrated. Numerical work on the engine was done to examine the working and outflow patterns of a dual-fuel CI engine at various fuel combination ratios. In the test setup, diesel is used as main fuel and hydrogen and air as the controlling fuel. In order to formulate this special CI engine numerically, three-dimensional computer based analytical tools were used. For this method, n-heptane was chosen as reaction fuel and a reduced-reaction mechanism was taken into account. To investigate the soot formation rate inside the cylinder, the model by Hiroyasu-Nagel was developed. Here, a study looks into the performance effects on the variations of secondary fuel and its emissions. Presence of good amount of hydrogen during combustion results in better thermal efficiency and better performance. As the hydrogen rate increased, ignition timing was delayed as a result of a time lag in the OH component’s evolution. Meanwhile, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and timing of the diesel incorporation strategies are also taken as important performance parameter.
