As the emissions regulations have become more stringent, reducing NOX emissions is of great importance to the shipping industry. Due to the price and emissions advantages of natural gas, the diesel-natural gas engines have become an attractive solution for engine manufacturers. Firstly, in this paper, the NOX emissions prediction model of a large marine four-stroke dual-fuel engine is built by using AVL-BOOST. In addition, the model is further calibrated to calculate the performance and emissions of the engine. Then, the influences of boost pressure, compression ratio, and the timing of intake valve closing on engine performance and emissions are analyzed. Finally, the response surface methodology is used to optimize the emissions and performance to obtain the optimal setting parameters of the engine. The results indicate that the response surface method is a highly desirable optimization method, which can save a lot of repeated research. Compared with the results from manufactured data, the power is increased by 0.55% and the BSFC, the NOX emissions, and the peak combustion pressure are decreased by 0.60%, 13.21%, and 1.51%, respectively, at low load.

Filling grouting is effective to control the overlying strata movement and surface subsidence in mining and tunnel engineering.Grouting material is used in grouting reinforcement projects. In this experiment,based on the mechanical properties of grouting materials, Expert Design and response surface methodology (RSM) is used to optimize the mix proportion of grout materials. The sand-fly ash ratio ,water reducing agent addition are researched as variables, and the 3D response surface is established between the factors and the performance indicators. Microstructure explains the mechanism of factors affecting performance indicators.The results show the relationship between factors and performance can be well fitted by RSM.The order of significance on compressive strength and solidification ratio is sand-fly ash ratio>water reducing agent addition and the order of significant on viscosity is water reducing agent addition>sand-fly ash ratio.Response surface methodology accurately describes the functional relationship between the target value and the design variables.Microstructure shows hydration reaction and the secondary hydration reaction of fly ash will be carried out after cement-fly ash mixed, and the addition of fly ash is especially important for grout material properties.

The present study is investigated on the performance and emissions characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled by compressed natural gas and base diesel (CNG + Diesel). The CNG fuels used as the primary fuel, and diesel as pilot fuel under dual-fuel mode. The pilot fuel is partially replaced by CNG at a different percentage. The primary fuel is injected into the engine with intake air during the suction stroke. The experimental results reveal the effect of CNG + diesel under dual fuel mode on BTE, BSFC, CO, CO2, HC, NOx and Smoke. It is observed from the experimental results that CO2, NOx and Smoke emissions decreased but HC and CO emissions increase with an increase in CNG energy share.

This study aims to investigate the effect of the port injection of ammonia on performance, knock and NOx emission across a range of engine speeds in a gasoline/ethanol dual-fuel engine. An experimentally validated numerical model of a naturally aspirated spark-ignition (SI) engine was developed in AVL BOOST for the purpose of this investigation. The vibe two zone combustion model, which is widely used for the mathematical modeling of spark-ignition engines is employed for the numerical analysis of the combustion process. A significant reduction of ~50% in NOx emissions was observed across the engine speed range. However, the port injection of ammonia imposed some negative impacts on engine equivalent BSFC, CO and HC emissions, increasing these parameters by 3%, 30% and 21%, respectively, at the 10% ammonia injection ratio. Additionally, the minimum octane number of primary fuel required to prevent knock was reduced by up to 3.6% by adding ammonia between 5 and 10%. All in all, the injection of ammonia inside a bio-fueled engine could make it robust and produce less NOx, while having some undesirable effects on BSFC, CO and HC emissions.
