The prediction of emission concentrations in spark ignition engine using methanol as a fuel

Methanol을 연료로 한 전기점화 기관의 배출물 농도예측에 관한 연구

A prediction of emission concentrations was made by calculating chemical equilibrium on the basis of an indicated pressure diagram in spark ignition engine using methanol as a fuel. A prediction according to Otto cycle was also made and for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitric oxide, emission test was performed using a conventional SI engine that was modified a little considering fuel characteristics. An investigation was made for those three cases-results from an indicated pressure diagram, Otto cycle and emission test. A good agreement between the measured values and the predicted ones existed for carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, but not for nitric oxide. And good results existed for the other emission concentrations.
