NOx Emissions of N-butanol and Methane in Low-speed Two Stroke Diesel Engines

Abstract

This article firstly structures a detailed combustion reaction mechanism including methane N-butanol nitrogen oxide. According to two-stroke low-speed diesel engine’s parameter with the characteristics of engine firing, homogeneous charge compression ignition is selected as simulation model. At the same the output power and the excess air coefficient is 1.5, by means of the simulation calculation and analysis of reaction path and reaction mechanism, when N-butanol and methane are mixed in different proportions, the exhaust temperature in the reactor reduces with the increase of methane proportion in reactants. At the same time NO mole fraction increases with the proportion of CH4 in the mixed fuel decreases, but the NO2 mole fraction will increase with the proportion of CH4 in the mixed fuel increases.
