The engine was operated on 100 % Cottonseed Oil Methyl Ester (C100) at various load conditions in a constant speed engine. It was observed that under all load situations, the temperature of the exhaust gas increased as the hydrogen flow rate increased. Maximum of 16.66 % increment in exhaust gas temperature was noted with C100H20 than neat diesel operation. Similarly, as hydrogen induction rates increased, the cut-off ratio, effective compression ratio, and volumetric efficiency all dropped. On the other hand, both brake thermal efficiency and second law efficiency were increased by 16.11 and 13.41 % than neat diesel while operating with C100H20 at 100 % load condition. The peak values for in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate were found to be 4.18 %, and 21.85 % higher than neat diesel for C100H20 with maximum load applied. Nitrogen monoxide emissions increased as a result of the increase in hydrogen induction flow rate by maximum of 40.51 % and then diesel. However, emissions of oxides of carbon (CO and CO<sub>2</sub>), hydrocarbons, and soot decreased significantly with the introduction of hydrogen.

Injecting hydrogen in the pre-chamber to form a flame jet to ignite the ammonia/air mixture is a method to improve the combustion of ammonia. This ignition method was investigated with the constant volume combustion chamber, high-speed video camera observation and the main-chamber pressure analysis. The flame behavior and combustion characteristics were compared with those ignited by the ammonia flame jet. Hydrogen flame jet significantly enhanced the combustion of the mixture and extended the lean flammability limit. Under conditions of hydrogen injection, the pressure rise delay and combustion duration became shorter, the average heat release rate became higher, and the combustion process was more stable. The hydrogen flame jet rapidly penetrated the main-chamber and impinged on the lower surface, generating intense turbulence. As a result, the combustion pressure took less time to rise from 10% to 50% than it did to go from 50% to 90%. This was different from the situation without hydrogen injection, where time required for both was similar. The hydrogen flame jet was shuttle-shaped when touching the lower surface owing to the rapid combustion speed of hydrogen, while the ammonia flame jet was spindle-shaped with the flame kernel in the center. The combustion process of the flame jet igniting the mixture exhibited two peaks in the heat release rate, reflecting two combustion stages dominated by the flame jet and flame propagation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":325,"journal":{"name":"Fuel","volume":"383 ","pages":"Article 133774"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142704779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitatively studying DHS is challenging because it is generated through the dehydrogenation of hydrogen-donor solvents produced via the hydrogenation of gas-phase H<sub>2</sub> and solvents. This research establishes for the first time a quantitative method for determining DHS consumption (DHSC) based on protium- and deuterium-nuclear-magnetic-resonance results for solvents after isotope-tracer reactions. Comparative experiments and quantum-chemical calculations were performed to confirm the method’s reliability. The isotope-tracer method showed that DHSC accounts for < 7 % of the total hydrogen consumption under catalysis with ferric stearate, nickel stearate, or molybdenum 2-ethylhexanoate, while DHD consumption accounts for > 50 %. Thus, DHD, rather than DHS, is the primary hydrogen source for catalytic activation. Furthermore, the comparative experiments also showed that hydrogen consumption is greater for one hydrogen source than for the coexistence of the three hydrogen sources, indicating competition among the three sources. The quantum-chemical calculations showed that the competitiveness among the three sources follows the order of DHS < SH < DHD, this agrees with the order of hydrogen consumption in the isotope-tracer experiments.
