The present work provides new insight into NH3single bondNO interaction under low-temperature conditions. The oxidation process of neat NH3 and NH3 doped with NO (450, 800 ppm) was experimentally investigated in a Jet Stirred Flow Reactor at atmospheric pressure for the temperature range 900–1350 K. Results showed NO concentration is entirely controlled by DeNOx reactions in the temperature range 1100–1250 K, while NH3single bondNO interaction does not develop through a sensitizing NO effect, for these operating conditions.
A detailed kinetic model was developed by systematically updating rate constants of controlling reactions and declaring new reactions for N2H2 isomers (cis and trans). The proposed mechanism well captures target species as NO and H2 profiles. For NH3single bondNO mixtures, NO profiles were properly reproduced through updated DeNOx chemistry, while NH2 recombination reactions were found to be essential for predicting the formation of H2. The role of ammonia as a third-body species is implemented in the updated mechanism, with remarkable effects on species predictions. For neat NH3 mixture, the reaction H+O2(+M)=HO2(+M) was crucial to predict NO formation via the reaction NH2+HO2double bondH2NO+OH.
In the SAE article 2023-24-0083: SprayLet: One-dimensional interactive cross-sectionally averaged spray model, we formulatet a one-dimensional Spray model in interaction with the surrounding gas phase. We could demonstrate, that the model predicted liquid and gaseous penetration length in good aggreement with ECN spray experiments. In this paper we use this model in engine CFD (CONVERGE CFD) and demonstrate a strong reduction in CPU time (50%). We can show a strong decrease in grid dependency, which allows a further reduction of CPU time (90%). We will present engine CFD simulations, comparing detailed spray with SpayLet simulations. This includes pressure traces, heat release, and emissions.
State of the art spark ignited gasoline engines achieve thermal efficiencies above 46 % e.g. due to friction optimized crank trains, high in-cylinder tumble flow and direct fuel injection. Further improvements of thermal efficiency are expected from lean combustion, higher compression ratio and new knock-resistant fuel blends. One of the limitations to these improvements are set by the autoignition in the end gas, which can develop to knocking combustion and severely damage the internal combustion engine. The auto-ignition is enhanced by high cylinder gas temperatures and reactive species in the end gas composition. Quasi-dimensional Stochastic Reactor Model simulations with detailed chemistry allow to consider the thermochemistry properties of surrogates and complex end gas compositions. Based on the detailed reaction scheme and surrogate model, an innovative tabulated chemistry approach is utilized to generate dual-fuel laminar flame speed and combustion chemistry look-up tables. This reduces the simulation duration to seconds per cycle, while the loss in accuracy compared to solving the chemistry “online” is marginal. The auto-ignition events predicted by the tabulated chemistry simulation are evaluated using the Detonation Diagram developed by Bradley and co-workers. This advanced methodology for quasi-dimensional models evaluates the resonance between the shock wave and reactionfront velocity from auto-ignition in the end gas and determines if it is a harmful developing detonation or normal deflagration. The aim of this work is to evaluate the auto-ignition characteristics of different fuel blends. The Stochastic Reactor Model with tabulated chemistry is applied to perform a numerical analysis of the autoignition of the fuel blends and operating conditions. Experimental measurements of a single cylinder research engine operated with RON95 E10 fuel are used to train and validate the simulation model. The RON95 E10 fuel is blended with Methanol, Hydrogen and Toluene. The knock tendency based on the evaluation of auto-ignition events of the different fuel blends are analysed for three operating points at 1500 rpm 15 bar IMEP, 2000 rpm 20 bar IMEP and 2500 rpm 15 bar IMEP with advanced spark timings.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of the n-heptane/toluene ratio on the reactivity of binary toluene reference fuels (TRFs), through a combined experimental and numerical work. Novel experimental ignition delay time (IDT) data of three binary TRFs of varying n-heptane/toluene ratios have been obtained in a high-pressure shock tube and in a rapid compression machine at conditions relevant to novel engine operation. Measurements have been performed at two pressures (10 and 30 bar), and at three fuel/air equivalence ratios (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0) for TRF mixtures of 50%, 75% and 90% by volume toluene concentration, over the temperature range of 650–1450 K. It was found that, increasing the n-heptane content, led to an increase in reactivity and shorter measured IDTs. Reduced sensitivity to the equivalence ratio was observed at high temperatures, especially for high toluene content mixtures. A …
"Chemical Kinetic Modelling of Combustion in Internal Combustion Engines using Reduced Chemistry"
(2002)
The use of chemical kinetic mechanisms in computer aided engineering tools for internal combustion engine simulations is of high importance for studying and predicting pollutant formation of conventional and alternative fuels. However, usage of complex reaction schemes is accompanied by high computational cost in 0-D, 1-D and 3-D computational fluid dynamics frameworks. The present work aims to address this challenge and allow broader deployment of detailed chemistry-based simulations, such as in multi-objective engine optimization campaigns. A fast-running tabulated chemistry solver coupled to a 0-D probability density function-based approach for the modelling of compression and spark ignition engine combustion is proposed. A stochastic reactor engine model has been extended with a progress variable-based framework, allowing the use of pre-calculated auto-ignition tables instead of solving the chemical reactions on-the-fly. As a first validation step, the tabulated chemistry-based solver is assessed against the online chemistry solver under constant pressure reactor conditions. Secondly, performance and accuracy targets of the progress variable-based solver are verified using stochastic reactor models under compression and spark ignition engine conditions. Detailed multicomponent mechanisms comprising up to 475 species are employed in both the tabulated and online chemistry simulation campaigns. The proposed progress variable-based solver proved to be in good agreement with the detailed online chemistry one in terms of combustion performance as well as engine-out emission predictions (CO, CO2, NO and unburned hydrocarbons). Concerning computational performances, the newly proposed solver delivers remarkable speed-ups (up to four orders of magnitude) when compared to the online chemistry simulations. In turn, the new solver allows the stochastic reactor model to be computationally competitive with much lower order modeling approaches (i.e., Vibe-based models). It also makes the stochastic reactor model a feasible computer aided engineering framework of choice for multi-objective engine optimization campaigns.
It is important to understand the low-temperature chemistry of 1-hexene as it is used as a representative alkene component in gasoline surrogate fuels. Ignition delay times (IDTs) of 1-hexene measured in rapid compression machines (RCMs) can be used to validate its low-temperature chemistry. However, volume history profiles are not available for published RCM IDT data. This has restricted the validation of the low-temperature chemistry of 1-hexene at engine-relevant conditions (i.e. at low temperatures and high pressures). Thus, new RCM IDT data with associated volume history profiles are needed. In this study, both an RCM and a high-pressure shock tube (ST) are employed to measure IDTs of 1-hexene at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 in ‘air’ and at pressures of 15 and 30 atm. A cool-flame (first stage) and total (second stage) ignition was observed in the RCM experiments. Moreover, carbon monoxide and water versus time histories produced during 1-hexene oxidation at highly diluted conditions were measured in a ST. A new detailed chemical kinetic model describing 1-hexene oxidation is proposed and validated using these new measured data together with various experimental data available in the literature. The kinetic model can predict well the auto-ignition behavior and oxidation processes of 1-hexene at various conditions. The rate constants and branching ratio for hydroxyl radical addition to the double bond of 1-hexene are particularly important and discussed based on the experimental and theoretically calculated results from previous studies as well as validation results from jet-stirred reactor (JSR) species profiles. Flux and sensitivity analyses are performed to determine the important reaction classes for 1-hexene oxidation and show that the reactions associated with hydroxy radical addition to the double bond contribute most to the low-temperature reactivity of 1-hexene. In the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) regime, the isomerization of hexenyl-peroxy radicals promotes fuel reactivity due to its associated chain branching pathways.
The reduction of greenhouse gasses such as CO2 and CH4 is becoming necessary due to global environmental problems. The reforming of light hydrocarbons is a particularly efficient process for producing synthesis gas, H2 and CO, from greenhouse gasses [1]. The steam reforming of methane is the most important method to produce syngas in industry by using a nickel catalyst. Nickel-based catalysts are the conventional catalysts in industrial applications due to their fast turnover rates, good availability, and low costs, however, limited by their tendency towards coke formation. In this study, a detailed surface reaction mechanism is developed for steam reform-ing of methane over nickel and results are compared with the reference data.
