SIMULATION OF PERFORMANCE AND NITROGEN OXIDE FORMATION OF A HYDROGEN-ENRICHED DIESEL ENGINE WITH THE STEAM INJECTION METHOD

ABSTRACT
In the present study, steam injection method (SIM) is implemented to a hydrogen-enriched diesel engine in order to improve the levels of performance and NO emissions. As hydrogen enrichment method increases effective efficiency, NO emissions could be increased. However, the SIM is used to control NO emissions and improve the engine performance. Due to these positive effects, hydrogen enrichment and the SIM)are applied into a diesel engine by using a two-zone combustion model for30% hydrogen enrichment of the fuel volume and 20% steam ratio of the fuel mass at full load conditions. The results obtained are compared with conventional diesel engine (D), steam injected diesel engine (D+S20), hydrogen-enriched diesel engine (D+H30) and hydrogen-enriched diesel engine with steam injection (D+H30+S20) in terms of performance and NO emissions. In the results, the effective efficiency and effective power improve up to 22.8% and %3.1, as NO emissions decrease up to 22.1%. Hence, the hydrogen enrichment with steam injection method is more environmentally friendly with better performance.
