Abstract
In the present study, a numerical model based on chemical kinetics was developed to investigate the effect of different parameters on characteristics of hydrogen diesel homogeneous charge compression ignition (HDHCCI) mode. The results showed that the combustion process was retarded with diminished cool flame as increasing hydrogen energy share (HES) due to reduction of H2O2, H2O and OH radicals with hydrogen addition. Thus, it increased the indicated thermal efficiency (ITE) and decreased the indicated specific energy consumption (ISEC). The levels of NOx and soot emissions were reduced by 22% and 63% at maximum HES. A spray angle of 10° decreased the total fuel impingement compared with a spray angle of 74° because of improvement in air-fuel mixing phenomena. Incomplete combustion was recovered at HES of 25% when increasing the charge temperature or adapting the twin-pulse in HDHCCI mode, consequently the ITE was improved with a decrease in ISEC.
