... reaction kinetics, which leads to CO and unburned hydrocarbon emissions. To extend the turn-down ratio, part of the fuel can be converted to syngas, which exhibits a higher reactivity. By an increasing fraction of syngas in the fuel, the reactivity of the mixture is increased and total fuel mass flow...

..., especially in the fuel-kinetics-dominated engine combustion concepts. A detailed chemical kinetic model of methyl decanoate (MD), a biodiesel surrogate fuel, was used here to simulate the two-stage auto-ignition process of biodiesel with EGR addition. The effects of EGR constituents, including carbon dioxide...

...Luke Hagen; Baine Breaux; Michael Flory; Joel Hiltner; Scott Fiveland The North American oil and gas industry has experienced a market pull for dual fuel (DF) engines that can run on any ratio of fuels ranging from 100% diesel to a high proportion of field gas relative to diesel, while also meeting...
