Abstract

To address the challenges of slow combustion speed and high NOx emissions associated with ammonia as a zero-carbon fuel in engines, simulation research was conducted on the combustion and emission characteristics of  ammonia-hydrogen and ammonia-methane dual-fuel engines. One-dimensional simulation model (the core index error for model validation of less than 7%) was established using GT-POWER software based on the structural parameters of a 12.8 L natural gas engine. The effects of compression ratio and blending gas volume fraction on in-cylinder peak pressure (pmax), exhaust temperature, NOx emissions, thermal efficiency were systematically investigated under different engine speeds. The results indicate that increasing both compression ratio and blending ratio can effectively enhance pmax and combustion speed, but would lead to lower exhaust temperature and higher NOx emissions. Increasing the proportion of hydrogen or methane can significantly reduce fuel consumption rate and improve fuel economy.
