Abstract
In-cylinder post flame oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons from crevices in a lean burn spark ignition engine has been examined for natural gas and mixtures of natural gas and a hydrogen containing producer gas. For this purpose a model was developed to describe the mixing of cold unburned reactants from crevices and hot burned bulk gas and to describe the oxidation of the unburned fuel. The post oxidation was described by a single step chemical reaction mechanism instead of detailed chemical kinetics in order to reduce the calculation time. However, the exploited Arrhenius expressions used to describe the chemical reactions were deduced from a detailed reaction mechanism.
Different detailed reaction mechanisms were compared with results from combustion reactor experiments. Experiments and simulations were compared at different pressures and excesses of air similar to the conditions present during in-cylinder post oxidation. The Arrhenius parameters were determined using the reaction mechanism, which gave the prediction of the results from the combustion reactor experiments.
The investigation showed that addition of producer gas to natural gas promotes the in-cylinder post oxidation significantly. Furthermore it was found that the cyclic variation in the post oxidation is reduced by addition of producer gas to natural gas.
