This paper is a part of the research happening at the University of Illinois at Chicago together with Caterpillar Inc. for the development and validation of a split cycle clean combustion engine (SCCCE) operating on diesel fuel. A two-cylinder variant of the SCCCE is modeled using Caterpillar's one-dimensional modeling software Dynasty, following the geometric and boundary specifications given by the University of Pisa in their paper by Musu et al. (2010, “Clean Diesel Combustion by Means of the HCPC Concept,” SAE Paper No. 2010-01-1256). The results are compared to validate our modeling methodology. The split cycle clean combustion (SCCC) concept may significantly reduce gaseous and particulate emissions while maintaining high engine efficiency compared to the current state of the art diesel engine. Some manufacturers have been prototyping gasoline engines based on the SCCC concept, but there are no diesel fuel powered SCCC engine prototypes existing in the market. This study will be a significant contribution in the performance evaluation of SCCC diesel engines at high load and part load conditions. A one-dimensional modeling technique was chosen for this study due to the need of a fast running model that could be improved using design of experiments (DOE) analysis. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling produces more accurate results but limits one's ability to model a large number of configurations due to its large computational overhead that slows down the overall simulation process, thus making CFD models not feasible for this DOE. In order to accurately model an SCCC engine, we first validated our modeling methodology by reproducing results of the CFD based model presented by University of Pisa in Musu et al. (2010, “Clean Diesel Combustion by Means of the HCPC Concept,” SAE Paper No. 2010-01-1256). A satisfactory comparison of results confirmed our modeling approach and enabled us to integrate more complex models that will be discussed in future publications.

Gas Recirculation

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) sweeps were performed on ethanol partially premixed combustion (PPC) to show different emission and efficiency trends as compared with diesel PPC. The sweeps showed that when the EGR rate is increased, the efficiency does not diminish, HC trace is flat, and CO is low even with 45% of EGR. NOx exponentially decreases by increasing EGR while soot levels are nearly zero throughout the sweep. The EGR sweeps underlined that at high EGR levels, the pressure rise rate is a concern. To overcome this problem and keep high efficiency and low emissions, a sweep in the timing of the pilot injection and pilot-main ratio was done at ∼16.5 bars gross IMEP. It was found that with a pilot-main ratio of 50:50, and by placing the pilot at −60 with 42% of EGR, NOx and soot are below EURO VI levels; the indicated efficiency is 47% and the maximum pressure rise rate is below 10 bar/CAD. Low load conditions were examined as well. It was found that by placing the start of injection at −35 top dead center, the efficiency is maximized, on the other hand, when the injection is at −25, the emissions are minimized, and the efficiency is only 1.64% lower than its optimum value. The idle test also showed that a certain amount of EGR is needed in order to minimize the pressure rise rate.

We have developed a burner for the gas turbine combustor, which was high efficiency and low environmental load. This burner is named the “coaxial jet cluster burner” and, as the name indicates, it has multiple fuel nozzles and holes in a coaxial arrangement. To form lean premixed combustion, this burner mixes fuel and air in the multiple holes rapidly. The burner can change the combustion form between premixed and non-premixed combustion by controlling the mixing. However, the combustion field coexisting with premixed and non-premixed combustion is complicated. The phenomena that occur in the combustion field should be understood in detail. Therefore, we have developed the hybrid turbulent combustion (HTC) model to calculate the form in which non-premixed flame coexists with premixed flame. Turbulent flow has been simulated using a large eddy simulation (LES) with a dynamic sub grid scale (SGS) model coupled with the HTC model. These models were programmed to a simulation tool based on the OpenFOAM library. However, there were unclear points about their applicability to an actual machine evaluation and the predictive precision of CO concentration which affects burner performance. In this study, we validate the HTC model by comparing its results with measured gas temperature and gas concentration distributions obtained with a coaxial jet cluster burner test rig under atmospheric pressure. In addition, we analyze the CO generation mechanism for the lean premixed combustion in the burner.
