  • Kinetic Modeling Study of NOx Conversion Based on Physicochemical Characteristics of Hydrothermally Aged SCR/DPF Catalyst
    Naoki Ohya; Kohei Hiyama; Kotaro Tanaka; Mitsuru Konno; Atsuko Tomita; Takeshi Miki; Yutaka Tai, Diesel engines have better fuel economy over comparable gasoline engines and are useful for the reduction of CO2 emissions. However, to meet stringent emission standards, the technology for reducing NOx and particulate matter (PM) in diesel engine exhaust needs to be improved. A conventional selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system consists of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF), and urea-SCR catalyst. Recently, more stringent regulations have led to the development of SCR systems with a larger volume and increased the cost of such systems. In order to solve these problems, an SCR catalyst-coated DPF (SCR/DPF) is proposed. An SCR/DPF system has lower volume and cost compared to the conventional SCR system. The SCR/DPF catalyst has two functions: combustion of PM and reduction of NOx emissions. As PM is removed from the DPF at high temperatures (>
    650°C), the SCR/DPF system is exposed to higher temperatures as compared with those in the conventional SCR system. In this study, we investigated the NOx reduction performance and the properties of a hydrothermally aged SCR/DPF catalyst. Using these data, a model that can predict the NOx conversion of the hydrothermally aged SCR/DPF catalyst was constructed. A commercial copper-exchanged zeolite catalyst, Cu-ZSM-5, was used and aged in synthetic air with 10% water over the temperature range 650-750 °C. The effects of hydrothermal aging on the catalysts were investigated using a synthetic gas bench, and a detailed analysis of the structure of the hydrothermally aged catalyst was performed. Using the experimental data, we succeeded in constructing a hydrothermally aged SCR/DPF model for predicting the NOx conversion based on changes in the physicochemical characteristics of the catalysts with changes in the hydrothermal aging conditions. This work is the first step toward bridging the gap between a lab-simulated performance model and the global reactivity observed under real-world conditions., SAE

  • Measurement of ethylene in combustion exhaust using a 3.3-μm distributed feedback interband cascade laser with wavelength modulation spectroscopy
    Kotaro Tanaka; Kazushi Akishima; Masahiro Sekita; Kenichi Tonokura; Mitsuru Konno, Last, A sensor for the detection of ethylene (C2H4) in combustion exhaust based on a mid-infrared wavelength modulation spectroscopic technique was constructed using a distributed feedback interband cascade laser (DFB-ICL) with a wavelength of 3.3 mu m. The direct absorption spectrum of C2H4 in the range of 2978.8-2982.1 cm(-1) was recorded, where the spectrum was in good agreement with the spectrum simulated using parameters from the HITRAN 2012 database. The absorption line at 2979.581 cm(-1) [2.42 x 10(-21) cm(2) mol(-1) cm(-1), nu(11), P-P(5)(5)] was selected for C2H4 detection. This frequency was chosen to minimize spectral interference from other major combustion products in the emission frequency range of the DFB-ICL. A limit of detection for C2H4 of 96 parts per billion by volume was achieved at a signal-to-noise ratio of two under 3 kPa of pressure using 2f wavelength modulation spectroscopy. Using the developed sensor, the ethylene concentration in the exhaust from a portable power generator was also successfully determined., SPRINGER

  • Investigation of Mechanism for Formation of EGR Deposit by in situ ATR-FTIR Spectrometer and SEM
    Kotaro Tanaka; Kazuki Hiroki; Tomoki Kikuchi; Mitsuru Konno; Mitsuharu Oguma, Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is widely used in diesel engines to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. However, a lacquer is formed on the EGR valve or EGR cooler due to particulate matter and other components present in diesel exhaust, causing serious problems. In this study, the mechanism of lacquer deposition is investigated using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ATR-FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Deposition of temperature-dependent lacquers was evaluated by varying the temperature of a diamond prism between 80 and 120 °C in an ATR-FTIR spectrometer integrated into a custom-built sample line, which branched off from the exhaust pipe of a diesel engine. Lacquers were deposited on the diamond prism at 100 °C or less, while no lacquer was deposited at 120 °C. Time-dependent ATR-FTIR spectra were obtained for approximately 2 h from the beginning of the experiment. When the engine was started, water was detected during the initial period for all temperatures used. After the evaporation of water, spectra of aromatic hydrocarbons were observed at lower temperatures, while C=O absorption peaks were observed in the case of higher temperatures. Images of the lacquer obtained by SEM showed the presence of soot in the lacquer. These experimental results formed the basis for the elucidation of the lacquer formation mechanism., SAE International

  • Measurement of Sound Speed in DME in a Wide Range of Pressure and Temperature Including the Critical Point
    Yoshihiro Okoshi; Shinsuke Kikuchi; Yuta Mitsugi; Kotaro Tanaka; Masaaki Kato; Tomoya Tsuji; Mitsuru Konno, Dimethyl ether (DME) is a promising alternative fuel for compression ignition (CI) engines. DME features good auto ignition characteristics and soot-free combustion. In order to develop an injection system suitable for DME, it is necessary to understand its fuel properties. Sound speed is an important fuel property that affects the injection characteristics. However, the measurement data under high-pressures corresponding to those in fuel injection systems are lacking. The critical temperature of DME is lower than that of diesel fuel, and is close to the injection condition. It is important to understand the behavior of the sound speed around the critical point, since the sound speed at critical point is extremely low. In this study, sound speed in DME in a wide pressure and temperature range of 1 MPa to 80 MPa, 298.15 K to 413.15 K, including the vicinity of the critical point, was measured. The sound speed in DME decreases as either the pressure falls or the temperature rises. It is approximately 400 m/s slower than that found in diesel fuel. Around the critical point, the sound speed drastically decreases due to a lowering of bulk modulus. At a low-pressure region below 20 MPa including the vicinity of the critical point, the experimental results were consistent with the calculated results based on Helmholtz equation of state, proposed by Wu et al. [1]. The calculated value in the high-pressure range has a tendency to register a slightly higher than the experimental one as the pressure rises., SAE International

  • Mechanism of deposit formation on an electronic throttle body
    Hidefumi Hatsuzawa; Kotaro Tanaka; Mitsuru Konno, The buildup of deposits on the electronic throttle body (ETB) used to control the intake air flow in an internal combustion engine causes various problems. To obtain information that can be used to prevent the buildup of such deposit, the characteristics and mechanism of the deposit formation were investigated by analysis of the components of the deposit, measurement of the distribution of the deposit thickness, and numerical analysis of the intake air flow. The deposit was found to comprise a complex of fuel and engine oil, high molecular components, and inorganic matter, with engine oil being the major component. The distribution of the deposit thickness was also observed to be similar to that of the temperature decrease across the butterfly valve, indicating that the temperature decrease was related to the deposit formation. In addition, it was established that the deposit component on the downstream side of the butterfly valve was transported very close to the butterfly valve by a circulatory flow. Based on the study results, it is postulated that the mechanism of the ETB deposit formation involves the initial transportation, by the blow-by gas, of hydrocarbons to the ETB air passage, where the hydrocarbons are condensed and adhere to the passage wall just behind the butterfly valve, owing to sudden drop in the air temperature under small valve opening angle conditions. The formed deposit subsequently builds up by attracting fuel, engine oil, combustion products, and suspended solids in the atmospheric air intake passing through the air cleaner., SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD

  • Ignition Characteristics of 2,5-Dimethylfuran Compared,with Gasoline and Ethanol
    Kotaro Tanaka; Naozumi Isobe; Kota Sato; Ryosuke Okada; Hiroya Okada; Yoshiki; Fujisawa; Mitsuru Konno, 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and 2-methylfuran (MF) have attracted attention as new biofuels. To utilize furans as alternative fuels, fundamental studies on the combustion characteristics are required. In this study, the ignition delay times of DMF were measured using a rapid compression machine and compared with those of gasoline and ethanol. To investigate the effect of the addition of DMF to gasoline, the ignition delay times of DMF-gasoline surrogate fuel blends were also measured. The ignition delay times of DMF were longer than those of gasoline and shorter than those of ethanol. The simulation results using the DMF kinetic model were in reasonable agreement with those of the experiments., SAE International

  • An Experimental Study of Injection and Combustion with Dimethyl Ether
    Satoru Sasaki; Masaaki Kato; Takamasa Yokota; Mitsuru Konno; Denis Gill, DiMethyl Ether (DME) has been known to be an outstanding fuel for combustion in diesel cycle engines for nearly twenty years. DME has a vapour pressure of approximately 0.5MPa at ambient temperature (293K), thus it requires pressurized fuel systems to keep it in liquid state which are similar to those for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (mixtures of propane and butane). The high vapour pressure of DME permits the possibility to optimize the fuel injection characteristic of direct injection diesel engines in order to achieve a fast evaporation and mixing with the charged gas in the combustion chamber, even at moderate fuel injection pressures. To understand the interrelation between the fuel flow inside the nozzle spray holes tests were carried out using 2D optically accessed nozzles coupled with modelling approaches for the fuel flow, cavitation, evaporation and the gas dynamics of 2-phase (liquid and gas) flows. And to understand the spray characteristics tests were carried out using constant volume vessel. For a spray observation, two methods were used a shadowgraph and a diffuse forward scatter method to obtain both gaseous phase and liquid phase of DME. Tests were then run on a single cylinder engine to determine the differences in combustion with the differing hole shapes as well as extra high injection pressure. Results showed that the different nozzle hole shapes changed the flow and the cavitation tendency. And these characteristics be utilized for an optimaization of the spray and combustion, SAE International

  • Effect of Relative Positions of Air-Fuel Mixture Distribution and Ignition on Combustion Variation in Gasoline Engine
    Shunichi Kubota; Kotaro Tanaka; Mitsuru Konno, Combustion is known to be affected by variations in the air-fuel mixture concentration, residual gas concentration, turbulent kinetic energy, ignition, etc. However, because each of these factors is related to cycle-to-cycle variations, their effects on combustion variation are unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify the influences of the air-fuel mixture distribution near the spark plug and variation in the relative position of the ignition on the combustion variation. A 4-cylinder port injection gasoline engine was used as the test engine, and the combustion variation was investigated by measuring the cylinder pressure and air-fuel ratio (A/F) near the spark plug for each cycle using a micro-Cassegrain sensor for each cylinder. The air-fuel mixture distribution was calculated using a Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes simulation, and the spatial region of the high ignition probability was determined from the gas flow velocity. Then, the combustion progress when ignition occurred at each point of the region was calculated, and was compared with the measured combustion variation. As a result, the frequency distribution of the A/F within the ignition position variation region was correlated with the measured A/F for each cycle. Based on the combustion calculation results when the ignition position was changed, the difference that occurred in the growth rate of the initial flame kernel was related to the difference in the air-fuel mixture concentration at the ignition timing. These results suggested that variations in the relative positions of the air-fuel mixture distribution and ignition may strongly affect combustion variation., SAE International

  • 自動車から排出される二酸化炭素の安定炭素同位体比
    宮村芽維; 児島涼太; 戸野倉賢一; 金野満; 田中光太郎, Stable carbon isotope ratios of carbon dioxide (CO_2) in gasoline-, diesel- and natural gas-fueled automobiles exhaust were measured after catalyst treatment device using a near-IR laser based spectrometer. In the case of gasoline-fueled automobiles, CO_2 stable carbon isotope ratios were measured before catalyst treatment device. CO_2 concentration and CO_2 stable carbon isotope ratios in gasoline-fueled automobile exhaust were changed in accordance with the driving conditions. The variations of them were found to be due to the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and the difference of the reactivity of stable carbon isotopes on the catalyst treatment device. We also found that there were differences between CO_2 stable carbon isotope ratios in the gasoline-, diesel-fueled automobiles exhaust and those in the natural gas-fueled automobile exhaust., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

  • Effect of fuel oxidation characteristics on dual fuel HCCI operating limit (comparison of main fuel between methane and toluene)
    Takahiro Eguchi; Yusuke Kimura; Toru Maejima; Mitsuru Konno, HCCI operating range can be expanded by using two fuels with different ignition characteristics. In this study, the effect of oxidation characteristics of main fuel on the operating range was investigated. Toluene and methane were used as main fuel, and DME as ignition trigger fuel. Engine experiments using a single cylinder research engine showed that methane/DME HCCI operating range extended to higher equivalence ratio compared with toluene/DME HCCI. This is explained by numerical analysis based on elementary chemical reaction model that steep heat release rate can be controlled when higher ignition temperature fuel is used, because time lag between the first stage of high temperature oxidation induced by decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and onset of chain-branching reaction of main fuel increases. It was also found that the higher the reactivity with OH, the more the trigger fuel requirement, because low temperature oxidation of the trigger fuel was suppressed. © 2013 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

  • Numerical Analysis of Carbon Monoxide Formation in DME Combustion
    Yuya Muramatsu; Mitsuharu Oguma; Tadanori Yanai; Mitsuru Konno, Dimethyl ether (DME) is an oxygenated fuel with the molecular formula CH3OCH3, economically produced from various energy sources, such as natural gas, coal and biomass. It has gained prominence as a substitute for diesel fuel in Japan and in other Asian countries, from the viewpoint of both energy diversification and environmental protection. The greatest advantage of DME is that it emits practically no particulate matter when used in compression ignition (CI) engine. However, one of the drawbacks of DME CI engine is the increase carbon monoxide (CO) emission in high-load and high exhaust gas circulation (EGR) regime. In this study, we have investigated the CO formation characteristics of DME CI combustion based on chemical kinetics. In order to understand the equivalence ratio (φ) - temperature (T) dependence of CO formation in DME combustion, we generated the CO φ-T map through numerical calculations with detailed chemical reaction models and compared it with that of methane combustion. Our results show that DME combustion has a local CO peak at a temperature of around 1000 K, which is a distinctive feature of DME, although general CO formation properties are not unlike those of methane combustion, in which the CO emission increases with temperature and equivalence ratio. The analysis of reaction paths shows that this local CO peak is produced by active low-temperature reactions during DME oxidation process.

    金野 満; 佐藤良祐, The effect of NO doping on high temperature oxidation reaction was investigated to have insights into the control of HCCI combustion. Numerical analysis based on GRI-Mech methane oxidation scheme showed that the doped NO inhibited methane oxidation. The engine experiments were conducted to verify the calculation results using a single cylinder HCCI test engine. The experimental results showed that the doped NO enhanced the oxidation reaction, which were completely contrary to the calculation results. The largest cause for the error was in CH3 oxidation path in GRI-Mech., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

  • 異なる酸化反応機構を持つ燃料の組合せによるHCCI燃焼の運転範囲拡大
    金野満; 松澤聡; 飛田直樹; 佐藤良祐, HCCI combustion characteristics of mixed fuels with different ignitability, toluene/DME, were investigated. Toluene is thermally stable with a high oxidation onset temperature, whereas DME has good ignitability with active low temperature oxidation reactions. Engine test was conducted using a single cylinder, naturally-aspirated test engine to determine the HCCI operating range. Numerical calculations with elementary reaction models were also made to analyze the ignition and combustion mechanisms of toluene/DME HCCI process. The engine test showed that the operation range extended to higher loads without knocking, when DME quantity is adjusted an equivalence ratio of 0.1, the minimum requirements for ignition. The maximum load of φ0.77 in total equivalence ratio and BMEP of 0.59MPa was achieved. An elementally reaction model used in chemical analysis was on the basis of both Emdee's toluene oxidation scheme and Curran's DME2000 scheme. It was shown that when DME coexisted, the toluene oxidation temperature decreased to a low temperature at which single toluene would not react. In this temperature range, toluene oxidation is totally controlled by OH supplied from DME low temperature mechanism. The subsequent excursive hot fame reaction is restrained because toluene oxidation proceeds in stages depending on a temperature rise., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

  • Experimental and Numerical Analysis of High Pressure DME Spray
    Mitsuru Konno; Kazuki Chiba; Takeshi Okamoto, DME has lower energy content per unit volume than that of light oil (typical petroleum based diesel fuel). Roughly 1.8 times the quantity of DME is required to obtain equivalent content of light oil. DME also exhibits higher compressibility and much lower viscosity than light oil, so high pressure injection is not easy. Currently, DME engines have utilized a larger injection volume by enlarging the nozzle diameter with a relatively low injection pressure up to 60MPa. In order to obtain higher performance in future DME engines, high pressure fuel injection is considered essential, however the high pressure DME spray characteristics have not yet been understood. In this research, DME spray characteristics of high injection pressure up to 140MPa were examined using a constant volume vessel under engine-like temperature/pressure conditions. For a spray observation, two methods were used: a shadowgraph method and a diffuse forward scatter method, in order to distinguish between gaseous and liquid phase fuel. A high-speed video camera with 20,000 frames per second and 304× 304 pixel resolution was used to image the DME spray. The internal DME spray structure was investigated with numerical analysis using the KIVA-3V. Physical properties of DME required by the numerical analysis were carefully provided, and KIVA-3V was modified by calibrating the numerical model to the DME spray observation results. Results showed that DME evaporation was overwhelmingly faster compared to light oil, and a more evenly distributed leaner spray was formed. Even when using a larger nozzle diameter at a lower injection pressure of about 60MPa, the overall average interior spray equivalence ratio was equivalent to a light oil spray with an injection pressure of 200MPa. When the fuel injection pressure was increased, air entrainment was further improved, which indicates that this may effectively improve DME engine performance in the high speed, high load region.

  • Improvement of low temperature flow characteristics of bio diesel fuel (solidification pressure and improvement of solidification characteristics by blending DME)
    Takeshi Okamoto; Mitsuru Konno, Solidification characteristics of PME (palm methyl ester) and RME (rapeseed methyl ester) under high-pressure conditions up to 200 MPa were investigated. To improve low temperature fluidity of PME since it has high pour point, JIS No. 2 diesel fuel, ethanol and dimethyl ether (DME) were blended into PME. The influence of their blend ratio on cloud point and pour point were examined. Solidification characteristic of blended fuels under high-pressure conditions up to 200 MPa were also investigated. The result was that, solidification pressure of PME was less than 100 MPa, and RME did not solidify up to 180 MPa at room temperature. Pour point and cloud point lowering effect of blending DME are more significant than that of blending diesel fuel and ethanol. It is possible to use PME by blending DME in cold seasons and in regions where neat PME cannot be used. DME, diesel fuel and ethanol blend into PME made the solidification pressure at room temperature increase to 150 MPa or more. DME was more influential fuel on improvement of low temperature fluidity of PME than other fuels., Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

  • Iginition Mechanisms of HCCI Combustion Process Fueled with Methane/DME Composite Fuel
    Mitsuru Konno and Zhili Chen, Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion of methane was performed using dimethyl ether (DME) as an ignition improver. The ignition mechanisms of the methane/DME/air HCCI process were investigated on the basis of the chemical kinetics. The engine test was also conducted to verify the calculation results, and to determine the operation range. Analysis of the results showed that DME was an excellent ignition improver for methane, having two functions of temperature rise and OH radical supply. It was also shown that the operation range was extended to an overall equivalence ratio of 0.54 without knocking, by controlling DME quantity. Copyright © 2005 SAE International.

  • Spectroscopic Analysis of Combustion in the DME Diesel Engine
    Hidefumi Hatsuzawa; Mitsuharu Oguma; Shinichi Goto; Tomoko Watanabe; Mitsuru Konno, For better understanding of the combustion characteristics in a direct injection dimethyl ether (DME) engine, the chemiluminescences of a burner flame and in-cylinder flame were analyzed using the spectroscopic method. The emission intensities of chemiluminescences were measured by a photomultiplier after passing through a monochrome-spectrometer. For the burner flame, line spectra were found nearby the wave length of 310 nm, 430 nm and 515 nm, arising from OH, CH and C2 radicals, respectively. For the in-cylinder flame, a strong continuous spectrum was found from 340 nm wave length to 550 nm. Line spectra were also detected nearby 310 nm, 395 nm and 430 nm, arising from OH, HCHO, and C2 radicals, respectively, partially overlapping with the continuous spectrum. Of these line spectra, 310 nm of OH radical did not overlapped with the continuous spectrum. The spatial distribution of the OH radical during the combustion period of the test engine can be observed by an image intensified high-speed video camera system with a band-pass filter.

  • Electromagnetic Valve Actuator for Automobile Engines
    Yohji Okada; Yoshiaki Marumo; Mitsuru Konno, One of the key technologies in improving engine performance is flexible valve timing. New combustion systems such as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) can be realized by flexible valve operation. Usually the valve timing is determined only by engine crank angle and is not flexible. To overcome this problem, an electromagnetic actuator had been proposed. However, a conventional solenoid actuator always requires current and the efficiency is low. In this study, a new type of linear actuator that uses bias flux produced by a permanent magnet (PM) to reduce power consumption was proposed. First, a cylindrical actuator was developed. To achieve further power consumption reduction, miniaturization and high-speed drive, a seesaw type actuator was designed. An experimental setup was designed to confirm its characteristics. The results showed improved performance and a high possibility for practical use. The developed actuator is planned to be installed on a single cylinder diesel engine and tested of its capability.

  • Chemiluminescence Analysis from In-Cylinder Combustion of a DME-Fueled DI Diesel Engine
    Oguma Mitsuharu; Goto Shinichi; Hidefumi Hatsuzawa; Mitsuru Konno; Zhili Chen; Tomoko Watanabe, To date, the DME combustion mechanism has been investigated by in-cylinder gas sampling, numerical calculations and observation of combustion radicals. It has been possible to quantify the emission intensities of in-cylinder combustion using a monochromator, and to observe the emitting species as images by using band-pass filters. However, the complete band images were not observed since the broadband (thermal) intensity may be stronger than band spectra intensities. Emission intensities of DME combustion radicals from a pre-mixed burner flame have been measured using a spectroscope and photomultiplier. Results were compared to other fuels, such as n-butane and methane, then, in this study, to better understand the combustion characteristics of DME, emission intensities near CH bands of an actual DI diesel engine fueled with DME were measured, and band spectra emitted from the engine were defined. Near TDC, emission intensities did not vary with wavelength. This baseline intensity seems to be continuous spectrum emission. Two emission intensity peaks were observed
    one near 427 nm and the other at 431.4 nm, and these were apparently DME combustion emission lines. The intensity of the 427 nm line increases from the early to middle stage of diffusion combustion, compared to the continuous spectrum. As combustion advances, the light intensity strengthens around the combustion chamber walls. That is, active heat release occurs near the chamber walls. Copyright © 2003 SAE International.

  • Computatioinal and Experimental Study on the Influence of Formaldehyde on HCCI Combustion Fueled with Dimethyl Ether
    Mitsuru Konno; Zhili Chen; Kentarou Miki, Computational analysis on the mechanism and control method for DME fueled HCCI type combustion was carried out on the basis of the chemical kinetics. The calculation results were verified experimentally using a single cylinder test engine. Analysis of the results showed that DME oxidation is governed by production/consumption behavior of OH, because DME oxidation is initiated by dehydrogenation with OH radicals. It was also shown that the overall oxidation reaction could be controlled by adding substances which react competitively with OH in the dehydrogenation reactions of DME. Of the substances we tested, formaldehyde was most effective. It was confirmed by engine testing that by adding a small amount of formaldehyde to the DME/air mixture, the heat evolved in the low temperature reactions was reduced and the reaction appearance timing was retarded.

  • How to Put the HCCI Engine to Practical Use: Control the Ignition Timing by Compression Ratio and Increase the Power Output by Supercharge
    Zhili Chen; Mitsuru Konno, In this study, compression ratio for controlling ignition and combustion for HCCI engine is proposed. Compression ratio can be changed higher for leaner mixture or lower for richer mixture to prevent misfire and rapid combustion respectively. In order to increase the power rate of the HCCI engine to a practical use level, supercharge can be combined with various compression ratio. To ascertain the efficacy on ignition and combustion, a series of bench tests and combustion simulations with constant pressure were conducted. The testing result shows that compression ratio is very useful for HCCI control: the engine can run over a wider load range of equivalent ratio without misfire or rapid combustion, and the power rate is comparable to a DI (Direct Injection) engine when a supercharger is installed. The findings from the combustion simulation are: progress (or degeneration) of low temperature oxidation is highly dependent on pressure but pressure does not affect the reaction rate of high temperature oxidation.

  • Spectroscopic analysis of combustion flame fueled with dimethyl ether (DME)
    Mitsuharu Oguma; Shonichi Goto; Hidefumi Hatsuzawa; Mitsuru Konno; Zhili Chen; Tomoko Watanabe, To better understand the combustion characteristics of DME, emission intensities of DME combustion radicals from a pre-mixed burner flame were measured by a spectroscope and photomultiplier, Results were compared to other fuels, such as methane and butane. Large peaks in the band spectra from pre-mixed and diffusion DME flames were found near 310 nm, 430 nm, and 515 nm, arising from OH, CH and C2, respectively. The DME emission intensities decreased with increasing the equivalence ratio in this study. Notably, the relative decrease in the C2 band spectra peak was greater than that of the OH band. Comparing the pre-mixed DME and butane flames, the butane band spectra peaks were similar in shape, but much stronger than those for DME. However, it was remarkable that CH and C2 band spectra peaks decreased only slightly with increase in equivalence ratio compared to the DME case. In case of the butane diffusion flame, there was a continuous spectrum above 430 nm, presumably due to thermal radiation of soot. Copyright © 2003 Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc.

  • Spray Characteristics of LPG Direct Injection Diesel Engine
    Mitsuharu Oguma; Shinichi Goto; Kousuke Sugiyama; Masataka Kajiwara; Makihiko Mori; Mitsuru Konno; Tomohisa Yano, In this study, spray images of LPG Blended Fuels (LBF) for DI diesel engines were observed using a constant volume chamber at high ambient temperature and pressure, and the spray characteristics of the fuel were investigated. The LBF spray started to vaporize at the injector tip and the outer downstream regions of the spray, like diesel fuel, because of the high temperature at these areas. There were more vaporized areas compared to diesel fuel. Sufficient fuel injection volume and volatility of LBF resulted in good fuel-air mixture, then, THC emissions decreased compared to diesel fuel at high load engine test conditions. Butane spray image could not be observed at the injector tip. It seems that the high temperature of the injector tip caused the butane spray to vaporize rapidly. Spray tip penetration with LBF and butane were equal or greater than with diesel fuel. The high volatility of LBF and butane had no noticeable effect on spray penetration. Spray area with LBF and butane were higher than with diesel fuel. Expansion of LBF and butane volume seems to drive the spray area higher. Equivalent cone spray angles were with all three observed fuels, ranging from 20 to 25 deg. Copyright © 2003 SAE International.

  • Atomization Characteristics for Various Ambient Pressure of Dimethyl Ether (DME)
    Mitsuharu Oguma; Gisoo Hyun; Shinichi Goto; Mitsuru Konno; Shuichi Kajitani, Recently, dimethyl ether (DME) has been attracting much attention as a clean alternative fuel, since the thermal efficiency of DME powered diesel engine is comparable to diesel fuel operation and soot free combustion can be achieved. In this experiment, the effect of ambient pressure on DME spray was investigated with observation of droplet size such as Sauter mean diameter (SMD) by the shadowgraph and image processing method. The higher ambient pressure obstructs the growth of DME spray, therefore faster breakup was occurred, and liquid column was thicker with increasing the ambient pressure. Then engine performances and exhaust emissions characteristics of DME diesel engine were investigated with various compression ratios. The minimum compression ratio for the easy start and stable operation was obtained at compression ratio of about 12. The brake thermal efficiencies with various compression ratio from 12 to 17.7 (original compression ratio) were almost same level when compared to the original compression ratio of the engine. When the engine fueled with DME is operated at low compression ratio, the theoretical thermal efficiency decrease. However, the high combustion efficiency, the increased degree of constant volume and the lower heat loss to cooling water make up for the decreased theoretical thermal efficiency. Furthermore, the low THC and CO emissions and engine noise were comparable to original compression ratio, and the reduction of NOx emission was achieved.

  • Spectroscopic Investigation of the Combustion Process in DME Compression Ignition Engine
    Mitsuharu Oguma; Gisoo Hyun; Shinichi Goto; Mitsuru Konno and Kazuya Oyama, For better understanding of the in-cylinder combustion characteristics of DME, combustion radicals of a direct injection DME-Fueled compression ignition engine were observed using a spectroscopic method. In this initial report, the emission intensity of OH, CH, CHO, C2 and NO radicals was measured using a photomultiplier. These radicals could be measured with wavelength resolution (half-width) as about 3.3 nm. OH and CHO radicals appeared first, and then CH radical emission was detected. After that, the combustion radicals were observed using a high-speed image intensified video camera with band-pass filter. All of radicals were able to observe as images with half-width as 6 or about 10 nm. Rich DME leaked from nozzle was burning at the end of combustion. Therefore, the second light emission of C2 radical after the main combustion was observed. The light of OH emitted all over the DME spray at the combustion started, then the dim light expanded in combustion chamber, so that CH radical emitted at the spray tip. After that the light intensity around the combustion chamber wall became strong with advancing the combustion. The light of NO radical emitted at around the tip of spray, which area seems to be stoichiometric combustion area. Copyright © 2002 Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.

  • A Study of low-compression-ratio Dimethyl Ether Diesel Engine
    S. Kajitani; Z. Chen; M. Oguma; M. Konno, A new concept of using dimethyl ether (DME) as an alternative fuel in direct injection compression ignition engines with low compression ratios was presented to seek a combustion regime with the highest thermal efficiency. The concept was experimentally evaluated by a comparison of performance and emissions between a DME-fuelled engine and the corresponding conventional diesel engine. The result demonstrated that the DME-fuelled engine is superior to the conventional diesel engine in terms of thermal efficiency, emissions and engine noise, particularly at low compression ratios. However, NOx emission is unacceptably high and needs to be reduced by exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or after-treatment systems. © 2002, Institution of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.

  • Combustion Radicals Observation of DME Engine by Spectroscopic Method
    Mitsuharu Oguma; Gisoo Hyun; Mahabubul Alam; Shinichi Goto; Mitsuru Konno; Kazuya Oyama, For better understanding of the in-cylinder combustion characteristics of DME, combustion radicals of a direct injection DME-Fueled compression ignition engine were observed using a spectroscopic method. In this initial report, the emission intensity of OH, CH, CHO, C2 and NO radicals was measured using a photomultiplier. These radicals could be measured with wavelength resolution (half-width) of about 3.3 nm. OH and CHO radicals appeared first, and then CH radical emission was detected. After that, the combustion radicals were observed using a high-speed image intensified video camera. C2 and CH radicals were able to observe roughly as images. However, the emission intensity of DME combustion was not strong enough to take OH, CHO and NO radical images. CH radical combustion occurred near the chamber wall and burned like a ring, as combustion progress, indicating active heat release occurred near the chamber wall.

  • Experimental Study of Direct Injection Diesel Engine Fueled with Two Types of Gas To Lequid (GTL)
    Mitsuharu Oguma; Shinichi Goto; Mitsuru Konno; Kouseki Sugiyama; Makihiko Mori, In this study, the main properties of two types of gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuels were investigated. Then, performance and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fueled with GTLs were investigated by comparison with diesel fuel. GTL1 was composed of 100% paraffin by volume, and GTL2 was composed of 99.8% paraffin and 0.2% aromatics by volume. Most GTL fuel properties were comparable to those of diesel fuel, while both fuels have a higher cetane number and lower sulphur. A diesel engine could be operated with GTL fueling without any special engine modifications. Our tests showed that with the high cetane number of GTLs, the ignition delay was shorter, and combustion started earlier than with diesel fuel. With GTL1 operation, THC and soot emissions were lower than with diesel fuel operation, and even lower with GTL2 fueling. The combustion duration with GTLs was longer as compared with diesel fuel at early injection timings, but became shorter than with diesel fuel operation with retarding injection timing. In case of GTL2, the combustion duration was shorter than that of GTL1 at retarded injection timings. The THC and soot emissions with GTLs were lower than those of diesel fuel at all injection timings, especially, THC and soot emissions with GTL2 were the lowest among all fuels tested here.

In order to control the ignition and combustion, a small amount of DME (Dimethyl Ether) was mixed with the LPG. Experimental and analytic studies on the combustion, the engine performance and the exhaust characteristics were conducted for investigating the possibilities and the problems of LPG application in the CI engines.

  • Performance and Emissions of a DI Diesel Engine Operating with the Blend of LPG and Ignition Improving Additives
    Mahabubul Alam; S. Goto; K. Sugiyama; M. Kajiwara; M. Mori; M. Konno; M. Motohashi; K. Oyama, This research investigated the performance and emissions of a direct injection (DI) Diesel engine operated on 100% butane liquid petroleum gas (LPG). The LPG has a low cetane number, therefore di-tertiary-butyl peroxide (DTBP) and aliphatic hydrocarbon (AHC) were added to the LPG (100% butane) to enhance cetane number. With the cetane improver, stable Diesel engine operation over a wide range of the engine loads was possible. By changing the concentration of DTBP and AHC several different LPG blended fuels were obtained. In-cylinder visualization was also used in this research to check the combustion behavior. LPG and only AHC blended fuel showed NOX emission increased compared to Diesel fuel operation. Experimental result showed that the thermal efficiency of LPG powered Diesel engine was comparable to Diesel fuel operation. Exhaust emissions measurements showed that NOX and smoke could be considerably reduced with the blend of LPG, DTBP and AHC. Copyright © 2001 Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.

  • Investigation of the Combustion Process of a DI CI Engine Fueled with Dimethyl Ether
    Mitsuru Konno; Shuichi Kajitani; Zhili Chen; Kenji Yoneda; Hiroki Matsui; Shinichi Goto, Dimethyl Ether (DME) is one of the major candidates for the next generation fuel for compression ignition (CI) engines. It has good self-ignitability and would not produce particulate, even at rich conditions. DME has proved to be able to apply to ordinary diesel engines with minimal modifications, but its combustion characteristics are not completely understood. In this study, the behavior of a DME spray and combustion process of a direct injection CI engine fueled with DME was investigated by combustion observation and in-cylinder gas sampling. To distinguish evaporated and non-evaporated zones of a spray, direct and schlieren imaging were carried out. The sampled gas from a DME spray was analyzed by gas chromatography, and the major intermediate product histories during ignition period were analyzed.

    Mitsuru Konno; Shuichi Kajitani; Zhili Chen; Yoshio Suzuki, The hydrocarbon composition in the exhaust of a dimethyl ether (DME) fueled CI engine and sensitivity correction techniques for a THC analyzer were discussed. The formation process of unburned hydrocarbon species was also investigated by in-cylinder gas sampling. The results showed that since HC emissions in the exhaust consist of DME and a small amount of lower hydrocarbons, a constant correction factor could be applied for THC analyzer, within an error of ±5%. The gas sampling results indicated that high levels of C2 components, such as C2H2, C 2H4C2H6 were formed during combustion process, and were mostly oxidized before the exhaust valve opened., Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

The in-cylinder observation of combustion process was conducted using high speed video camera. The concentration change of principal intermediate combustion products was traced by gas sampling. As the results, DME combustion was found to be non-luminous because polycondensation reaction over C2 would not proceed. It was also found that ignition occurred in the down stream of the spray, where DME was perfectly gasified. DME evaporated immediately after injection, and in the evaporating zone low temperature oxidation reaction actively took place., Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

    ZL Chen; M Konno; S Kajitani, Engine performance and exhaust gas characteristics of a direct injection CI engine were investigated with neat dimethyl-ether (DME), an alternative fuel being considered for attaining low emissions. The study was conducted by comparing the new fuel with the conventional diesel fuel. Results from the present work include: ( 1) It was necessary to add a small amount of lubricating additives to DME in order to achieve satisfactory engine operation, to minimize excessive wear in the injection nozzle. (2) Engine performance for both fuels was mutually comparable. (3) Although negligible amounts of soot and very low THC emissions were measured, NOx emission was about the same as in diesel fuel operation. (4) The reduction of NOx emission by retarding the injection timing was highly significant with DME. (5) The NOx emission from the retrofitted engine could be further reduced by dissolving CO2 in DME., JAPAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS

In order to control ignition timing and combustion, a small amount of DME was mixed with the natural-gas. Engine performance and the exhaust characteristics were investigated experimentally. Results show the following: the engine can run over quite a large load range if a certain amount of DME is added into natural-gas. By optimizing the proportion of DME to natural-gas, NOx emissions can be lowered to near zero levels if the mixture is lean enough.

The CR was altered by changing the top clearance volume from the original 17.7 CR to 10.16. The main results are summarized below: (1) The lowest CR for easy start and stable combustion is around 12. (2) At CRs from 17.7 to 12.36, the brake thermal efficiency of a DME engine is almost the same. (3) The aggravations of THC, CO emissions and noise of DME engine are extremely low.

The experimental study was also carried out using a small directinjection diesel engine with high turbulent combustion system. Fuel-rich mixture was formed by two small cavity combustion chambers.

  • Development of LPG DI Diesel Engine Using Cetane Number Enhancing Additives
    Shinichi Goto; Daeyup Lee; Yoshotaka Wakao; Hidekazu Honma; Makihiko Mori; Yukio Akasaka; Kohtaro Hashimoto; Masamitsu Motohashi; Mitsuru Konno, A feasibility study of an LPG DI diesel engine has been carried out to study the effectiveness of two selected cetane enhancing additives: Di-tertiary-butyl peroxide (DTBP) and 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate (EHN). When more than either 5 wt% DTBP or 3.5 wt% 2EHN was added to the base fuel (100 % butane), stable engine operation over a wide range of engine loads was possible (BMEPs of 0.03 to 0.60 MPa). The thermal efficiency of LPG fueled operation was found to be comparable to diesel fuel operation at DTBP levels over 5 wt%. Exhaust emissions measurements showed that NOx and smoke levels can be significantly reduced using the LPG+DTBP fuel blend compared to a light diesel fuel at the same experimental conditions. Correlations were derived for the measured ignition delay, BMEP, and either DTBP concentration or cetane number. When propane was added to a butane base fuel, the ignition delay became longer. A simple thermodynamic model, using the detailed reaction mechanism of butane and DTBP, was developed to calculate the ignition delay as a function of overall equivalence ratio (or BMEP).

  • NO Emission Characteristics in CI Engine Fueled with Neat Dimethyl Ether
    Mitsuru Konno; Shuichi Kajitani; Mitsuharu Oguma; Toshiyuki Iwase; Ken-Ichiro Shima, In this study, the NO emission characteristics of a dimethyl ether fueled compression ignition (CI) engine were studied, and a suitable combustion control concept was developed. A three-zone thermo-chemical model was used to understand the basic NO formation characteristics with dimethyl ether. The experimental study was carried out using a small direct-injection diesel engine. Comparison of the experimental and calculated results showed that the dimethyl ether/air mixing process was relatively slow compared with diesel fuel, which is the main reason for the relatively high NO emissions with dimethyl ether operation, in spite of its lower adiabatic flame temperature. To reduce the high temperature period, turbulence was introduced into the combustion chamber by a high-turbulence combustion system, which reduced NO emissions. It became clear that acceleration of the mixing process is an important factor for NO reduction with dimethyl ether spray combustion. Copyright © 1999 Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.

Chemical equilibrium calculations were made to understand the basic NO formation properties of DME. An experimental study was also conducted with a small DI diesel engine, and the results were compared with the results of calculations using the three zone model. It was found that DME has the adiabatic flame temperature and equilibrium NO concentration which are both higher than alcohols but comparable to diesel fuel. In addition, it was suggested that the air mixing rate for DME spray is lower than that for diesel fuel and this is the cause of the relatively high NO emission when DME was used in the diesel engine., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

Rhee, In this report, the fundamental performances with retrofit diesel engine operated with dimethyl ether (DME) and CO2 blended DME (later it will be called as "Raw DME") was investigated by measuring engine performance, combustion characteristics and exhaust gas emissions. For the further reduction of NOx from the DME engine, in spray EGR method for reduction of NOx was conducted Namely CO2 blended raw DME was injected instead of neat DME for reduction of combustion temperature of the spray plume. The mass ratio of CO2 was 6, 11 and 22%. Findings of the present work include as follows:
    (1) It was necessary to add a small amount of lubricating additives to neat DME or raw DME, if conventional fuel injection system is employed (2) Engine performance for diesel and neat DME fuels were basically comparable to each other, except for better energy conversion with neat DME at retarded injection timing. (3) In neat DME operated engine, emissions of soot and unburned hydrocarbons (THC) were almost negligible, however NOx emission was about the same as in diesel operation (4) The reduction of NOx emission by delaying the injection timing was highly significant with neat DME. (5) CO2 blended raw DME was also effective for further reduction of NOx because of its high specific heat and endothermic reaction when CO2 was separated from raw DME in the engine cylinder., TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY PRESS

The results shows that the NO formation rate is independent of the mixing of combustion gas, and that internal EGR (combustion gas mixing in a cylinder) has no effect on NO reduction. It was found that NO is roughly proportional to the inverse of engine speeds.

    金野満; 太田裕彦; 近久武美; 村山正, Significant smoke reduction characteristics were previously reported for a D.I. diesel engine which has a turbulence generation cell. This paper presents an optimization and smoke reduction prcess in an engine with a turbulence generation cell. The effects of the cell volume and fuel quantity injected into the cell were investigated. Gas sampling and in-cylinder observation were performed to elucidate particulate formation and oxidation processes in the cylinder. The results showed that the system reduced smoke through two mechanisms: (1) promotion of particulate oxidation by strong turbulence generated from the cell during the later stage of the combustion period, (2)decreased fuel quantity injected into the main chamber. For the reduction of smoke and fuel consumption, the cell volume and a fuel amount injected into the cell should be limited to about 5% of the clearance volume and to 10% of the total fuel, respectively. When a larger amount of fuel is injected into the cell, smoke emission increases due to an increased amount of particulates in the turbulence generation cell., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers

  • Catalytic reduction of NOx in actual diesel engine exhaust
    Mitsuru Konno; Takemi Chikahisa; Tadashi Murayama; Masakazu Iwamoto, Copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst, which reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of oxygen and hydrocarbons, was applied to actual diesel engine exhaust. Copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite effectively reduced NOx by 25% in normal engine operation, and by 80% when hydrocarbons in the exhaust were increased. Water in the exhaust gas decreased the NOx reduction efficiency, but oxygen and sulfur appeared to have only a small effect. Maximum NOx reduction was observed at 400°C irrespective of hydrocarbon species, and did not decrease with space velocity up to values of 20,000 1/h. THE PURPOSE of this paper is to evaluate the possibilities and problems in catalytic reduction of NOx in actual diesel engine exhaust. Here, a copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite (Cu-Z) catalyst was applied to diesel engine exhaust to examine the dependency of the NOx reduction efficiency on temperature and space velocity. The effects of oxygen, water and hydrocarbons were also examined. The reduction of NOx from diesel engine exhaust gas has become an important research topic in recent years. One of the obstacles to reducing NOx is that there is a tradeoff between NOx and particulates in diesel combustion. Although the overall level of these pollutants have been reduced through improvements in the combustion process, further reductions will be difficult to obtain because of this tradeoff effect. Recently, Iwamoto, et al. [1]-[3] and Held, et al. [4] have independently reported that copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite (Cu-Z) is able to reduce NOx in the presence of oxygen, with hydrocarbons (HC) as the reducing agent. This catalyst has been shown to have a large reduction effect on synthesized gas which was modeled after diesel exhaust. Other catalysts such as proton-exchanged zeolite [51 and alumina [61J71 have been discovered to also be effective for reduction of NOx. These are all expected to be applicable as NOx reducing catalysts for diesel engines.

Diesel particulate was sampled using a mini-dilution tunnel. Gaseous HC was analysed with gas chromatography, and the PAH in SOF in the particulates was measured with liquid chromatography. The results show that the emission characteristics of the deep dish type chamber greatly differs from those of the shallow dish type chamber, depending on the number of nozzles, injection direction, and swirl intensity. The HC analysis shows that the main constituents of gaseous HC are carbon number HC, and there is a tending towards increasing polynucleation PAH in SOF corresponding to the increase in soot formation. Additionally it was found that the particulate concentration can be expressed as an exponential function of the Bosch smoke density for a wide range of engine combustion conditions., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers
