Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is a hydrogen energy carrier, and NH3/diesel dual-fuel engines enhance NH3 flame propagation and combustion stability while reducing emissions. A reduced NH3/diesel mechanism is crucial for dual-fuel engine combustion simulation. However, previous studies using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) with manual selection were affected by decision-maker subjectivity. In this study, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was used to improve decision consistency, repeatability, and explain-ability. A novel NSGA-II/TOPSIS hybrid method was first used to develop a reduced mechanism for China Stage-VI diesel under wide engine conditions. Sensitivity analysis was used to identify the key NH3/diesel auto-ignition reactions. Validated against experimental data, the optimized mechanism (90 species, 400 reactions) achieved an average of 12 % higher accuracy in predicting NH3/China Stage-VI diesel blends ignition delay times across all tested ammonia energy ratios (10–90 %) compared to detailed mechanisms, and successfully simulated real engine combustion conditions.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
