Abstract

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the effects of thermal stratification and partial fuel stratification on reducing the pressure-rise rate and emission in HCCI combustion. The engine is fueled with Di-Methyl Ether(DME) which has unique 2-stage heat release. Computational work is conducted with multi-zones model and detailed chemical reaction scheme. Calculation result shows that wider thermal stratification and partial fuel stratification prolong combustion duration and reduce pressure rise rate. But too wide partial fuel stratification increases CO and NOx concentration in exhaust gas, and decreases combustion efficiency.

본 연구의 목적은 온도 성층화와 농도 성층화의 효과가 HCCI 연소에서 압력상승률 저감과 배기가스에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보는 것이다. 2단계 열발생이 생기는 디메틸에테르(Di-Methyl Ether, DME) 연료를 사용하였다. 수치계산은 멀티 존 모델과 상세 화학 반응 스킴을 이용하였다. 수치계산 결과, 온도 성층화와 농도 성층화는 연소기간을 길게 하여 압력상승률을 저감시키는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 농도 성층화의 폭이 너무 커지면 오히려 일산화탄소와 질소산화물이 증가하였으며, 연소 효율은 감소하였다.
