Abstract:A multi-component gasoline/diesel surrogate mechanism which includes heavy diesel components was constructed through mechanism coupling and automatic optimization. The mechanism was then coupled with CONVERGE to create three-dimensional computational models, including the omega combustion system (OMECS), separated swirl combustion system (SSCS) and lateral swirl combustion system (LSCS). The study focused on examining the impacts of different combustion chambers on the reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine under medium load and high premix ratio conditions. The results show that compared to the OMECS combustion chamber, the SSCS and LSCS combustion chambers exhibit an increase in the indicated thermal efficiencies of 4.65% and 3.51%, respectively, while other emissions, except for NOx, are reduced. Energy balance and heat transfer analysis revealed a decrease in heat transfer loss, combustion loss and exhaust loss. The optimization mechanism for the new combustion chamber in RCCI combustion mode differs from that of pure diesel combustion. The influence of wall spray interaction is not significant, while the unique structure and organization of the cylinder airflow (such as the separation combustion chamber of the SSCS combustion chamber and the small size vortex on both sides of the convex edge of the LSCS combustion chamber) weaken the heat transfer more than the enhancement of the surface volume ratio and the increase of the cylinder temperature on the heat transfer. Overall, the SSCS and LSCS combustion chambers consistently demonstrate higher indicated thermal efficiencies compared to the original chamber under all second starts of injection (SOI). |
