Simulation Investigation about Combustion and Emission Characteristics of n-Butanol/Diesel Fuel Mixture on Diesel Engine

摘要

In this paper, combustion process was simulated on diesel engine with n-butanol/diesel blends in 3000 r/min, 300 Nm using AVL FIRE ESE Diesel. By comparison with indicator diagram, simulation results were consistent with the test results using pure diesel and 5%(volume of n-butanol) n-butanol/diesel blends. Using the calculation model combustion in cylinder is calculated burning B10(mass friction of n-butanol is 10%), B20 and B30 n-butanol /diesel mixture. The results show that the maximum combustion pressure and temperature gradually increases, and accumulated heat of release slightly reduces with the adding of n-butanol. BSFC increases, but indicated efficiency reduces. Mass friction of soot significantly reduce, and mass friction of NO_x firstly decreases then increases with the adding of n-butanol. This will provide a basis to the research of n-butanol as substitute fuel.
