Incorporating in-cylinder pressure data to predict NOx emissions from spark-ignition engines fueled with landfill gas/hydrogen mixtures
A 0.745 L 2-cylinder spark-ignition engine was operated with compressed natural gas and with simulated landfill gas (60% CH4 and 40% CO2 by volume) containing hydrogen concentrations of 0, 30%, 40%, and 50% (by volume of the CH4 in the fuel) at constant rpm. This empirical data was compared with predictions from three existing semi-empirical engine models, using a first-law-based finite heat release model to correlate measured in-cylinder pressure data and burn rate for each fuel mixture. Of the three models only a two zone model incorporating thermal and prompt NOx came within 25% of predicting the measured No. emissions. (C) 2009 Professor T. Nejat Veziroglu.
