This study experimentally investigated the feasibility of an ammonia-gasoline dual-fuel (AGDF) engine to achieve comparable power output and satisfactory carbon reduction without changing the main structural parameters of the engine. A four-cylinder, naturally aspirated, spark ignition engine was used to investigate the impact of ammonia energy ratio (AER), engine base torque and engine speed on the engine performance, combustion evolution and emission characteristics. The findings reveal that the brake thermal efficiency (BTE) in AGDF mode is lower than in gasoline-only mode, primarily due to the reduced combustion activity. However, this efficiency decline becomes noticeable only when the AER exceeds 15 %. Additionally, at high AERs and high engine base torques, the delayed effect of ammonia fuel on the main combustion period results in a double-peak pattern, which limits the energy output but presents opportunities for phase optimization. The study also examined three incomplete combustion emissions, each exhibiting distinct behaviors. Except for ammonia slip, adding ammonia fuel does not significantly affect carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) emissions, particularly at AERs below 25 %. Nevertheless, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions under AGDF combustion are significantly higher than under gasoline alone in most instances. Crucially, the study demonstrates the carbon reduction potential of ammonia fuel across different engine loads, with a maximum carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) reduction of 46.8 % at a 35 % AER.

However, both methanol and ammonia have high latent heats of vaporization, which necessitate significant heat absorption during the vaporization process. This often results in excessively low ambient temperatures before the ignition of the mixture, negatively affecting low-temperature ignition and combustion. To improve the combustion characteristics of ammonia/methanol blends, this study proposes the addition of nitromethane, forming a ternary blend of ammonia/methanol/nitromethane to enhance fuel performance. To evaluate the impact of nitromethane on the combustion mechanism of ammonia/methanol blends, this study utilizes synchronous vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry to analyze the oxidation reactions of the ammonia/methanol/nitromethane blends. Based on the Brequigny model, cross-reactions involving C-N bonds and reactions related to nitromethane were incorporated for model modification, resulting in the newly modified model, termed A-M. Pathway and sensitivity analyses, as well as ignition delay time simulations, were conducted to further understand the combustion process.

Machine learning (ML) modeling prediction is a fast and convenient means of obtaining performance parameters. An informative dataset with 243 samples was prepared, and two highly adapted ML algorithms were used: Random Forest (RF) and Extreme Gradient Boosting Tree (XGBoost). It is interesting to note that the developed ML models demonstrated great prediction ability; for example, the regression coefficient (<span><math><mrow><msup><mi>R</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></math></span>) of the XGBoost model for yield and HHV prediction was as high as 0.942 and 0.940, respectively. Furthermore, partial dependence plots (PDP) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) interpretability methodologies were adopted to address the main contributions of the feature identification and response behavior analysis of the features. The results demonstrated that the biomass composition had the greatest effect on bio-oil yield, with fat contributing up to 40 %. In contrast, the elemental composition had the most significant effect on the HHV of bio-oil. Notably, hydrogen content affected the HHV of up to 4.5 units. The interaction response behavior showed that the interaction of the process parameters with feedstock properties was most common and significant. The information obtained from the response mechanism can be used to enhance the subsequent hydrothermal fuel preparation process for bio-oils.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Energy Institute","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 101859"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142554643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
