In DI Diesel engines NO and Soot trade off is an important challenge for Engineers. In this paper, at first, multiple injection strategy will be introduced as a useful way to reduce both NO and Soot emissions simultaneously. Then the effect of injection pressure in post injection on the engine emissions will be studied. Investigations have been conducted on DI diesel engine. To evaluate the benefits of multiple injection strategies and to reveal combustion mechanism, modified three dimensional CFD code KIVA-3V was used. Results showed that using post injection with appropriate dwell between injection pulses can be effective in simultaneously reduction of emissions. Based on computation results, NO reduction formation mechanism is a single injection with retarded injection timing. It is shown that reduced soot formation is because of the fact that the soot producing rich regions at the fuel spray head are not replenished by new fuel when the injection is stopped and then restarted. Also increasing injection pressure in post injection will reduce the Soot emission dramatically while NO is in control and it is due to increasing fuel burning rate in post injection pulse.

The effect of spray penetration distance on fuel impingement on piston bowl of a 7.4 kW diesel engine for biodiesel-diesel blend (B20) was studied using modeling and CFD simulation. As the peak inline fuel pressure increased from 460 bar with base diesel to 480 bar with B20, the spray penetration distance (fuel jet) increases. It is observed from the study that the jet tip hits on piston bowl resulting to fuel impingement which is one of durability issues for use of biodiesel blend in the diesel engine. In addition to this, the simulation of effects of different injection pressures up to 2000 bar on spray penetration distance and wall impingement were also studied. The penetration distance increases with increase the in-line fuel pressure and it decreases with decrease nozzle hole diameter. The fuel impingement on piston bowl of the engine with high injection pressure (typically 1800 bar) can be avoided by decreasing the nozzle diameter from 0.19 mm to 0.1 mm. Increase in swirl ratio could also reduce fuel impingement problem.

Oxygen Enhancement

A multi-zone combustion model is used in the present study to examine the effect of increased in-cylinder oxygen availability (either by using oxygenated fuels or by increasing the oxygen percentage of intake air) on direct injection (DI) diesel engine performance characteristics and pollutant emissions. Simulations are produced for a single-cylinder DI diesel engine (“Lister LV1”) by keeping constant the oxygen content of in-cylinder fuel/air mixture and the engine brake torque. The effects of the two oxygen-enhancement techniques on combustion characteristics, soot and NO concentrations inside the combustion chamber are examined using model predictions for a common diesel oil, a neat oxygenate and the case of increasing the oxygen fraction of intake air. The multi-zone model is also utilized to interpret the relative impact of fuel-side and air-side oxygen on soot formation mechanism by examining the temporal evolution of combustion characteristics and soot formation and oxidation rates inside the fuel jet zones. Evaluation of the theoretical results revealed that the increase of in-cylinder oxygen availability by both techniques resulted in earlier initiation of combustion, increase of peak cylinder pressure and increase of in-cylinder and exhaust NO concentrations. It resulted also in reduction of exhaust gas temperature and exhaust soot values. Fuel oxygen addition was proven to be more influential on combustion process and consequently, on soot and NO formation mechanism compared to oxygen-enhancement of intake air. This is attributed to the higher oxygen availability inside each fuel jet zone, which is observed in the case of oxygenated fuel combustion.
