Investigation of the Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) on pollutants Emission From Si Engine Exhaust Gasese (RESEARCH NOTES)

Authors

Abstract:

This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation on the effect of the EGR on the pollutants emission, especially on oxides of nitrogen, from the exhaust gases and performance of the spark ignition engine. Also along with experimental work, a mathematical model for the determination of the effect of EGR on the peak cycle temperature and for the prediction of its effect on the NOx emission is constructed. The results of theoretical calculation show how peak temperature of theoretical cycle decreased with increasing of the recycling gas percentage. Tests were conducted on a four stroke petrol engine used in passenger cars. The experimental investigations show that NOx emission decreases with increasing of the percentage of the recycling gas. At 9% recycling, 73% of NOx emissions decreased at EGR valve opening 360 degrees. Brake specific fuel consumption and brake power are changed negligibly.

Performance Evaluation and Emissions improving of Turbocharged DI Diesel Engine with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) contribute to a wide range of environmental effects including the formation of acid rain and destroy ozone layer. In-cylinder high temperature flame and high oxygen concentration are the parameters which affect the NOx emissions. The EGR system is a very effective way for reducing NOx emission from a diesel engine (via reduction of these parameters), particularly at the...

Computational study on the effects of exhaust gas recirculation on thermal and emission characteristics of HCCI diesel engine

In this paper, a computational in-cylinder analysis of HCCI diesel engine was carried out using IC Engine FORTE (ANSYS 18.2) software package. The analysis used pre-defined industry standard CHEMKIN format for specifying a chemical reaction mechanism during the combustion duration. The investigation was carried out for the effects of various EGR mass percentages on the thermal and emission char...

Studying the Effect of Reformer Gas and Exhaust Gas Recirculation on Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Engine Operation

Combustion in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is controlled auto ignition of well-mixed fuel, air and residual gas. Since onset of HCCI combustion depends on the auto ignition of fuel/air mixture, there is no direct control on the start of combustion process. Therefore, HCCI combustion becomes unstable rather easily especially at lower and higher engine load. Charge strati...

An Investigate on Power, Torque and Exhaust Gas Emission Variation: Effect of Hydroxy Gas Addition to Inlet Air of a SI Engine

Hydrogen has been known as a clean and suitable fuel to replace conventional fossil fuels. One of the common hydrogen production methods is using water electrolysis process. This method produces oxygen as well as hydrogen by ratio of 1:2. The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of inlet air enrichment by adding produced hydrogen and oxygen to an internal combustion engine. For this p...

Theoretical Investigation of Combustion Process in Dual Fuel Engines at Part Load Considering the Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation

The dual fuel engines at part loads inevitably suffer from lower thermal efficiency and higher carbon monoxide and unburned fuel emission. This work is carried out to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (dieselgas) engine at part loads, using a single zone combustion model with detailed chemical kinetics for combustion of natural gas fuel. The authors developed software in ...
