Abstract

The initial boundary conditions, combustion, and emission characteristics of methyl decanoate (MD) mixed with different proportions of n-heptane (N-Hep) for homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) are studied in this work. MAN B&W 6S70MC two-stroke diesel engine was used as the engine model of the reactor. The results showed that, when the equivalence ratio is 0.48, the NO emissions in the MD and N-Hep HCCI combustion process decrease with the decrease of the initial temperature. The initial temperature is determined to be 380 K. At the same time, NO emissions decrease with the increase of initial pressure, and the initial pressure is determined to be 1.3 atm. The results also indicate that, at a certain initial temperature, the initial pressure and total mole fraction of fuel, CO2, NOx reaction rates, and emissions are reduced significantly with the increase of N-Hep percentage in MD and N-Hep mixing combustion.
