Abstract:The effects of hydrogen blending ratios and spark ignition timings on the combustion and emissions of a spark-ignition engine fueled with ammonia/hydrogen blends at the stoichiometric condition were investigated. The results show that increasing the hydrogen blending ratio can accelerate flame propagation, shorten the combustion duration, and raise peak in-cylinder pressures and temperatures. Besides, as the hydrogen blending ratio increases, unburned ammonia and N2O emissions decrease, while both the formation of fuel-NO and thermal-NO increase. Properly advancing the ignition timing improves combustion characteristics, balancing the emissions of NO, N2O, and unburned ammonia. With delayed ignition timing, the NO emission decreases, while the N2O and unburned ammonia emissions exhibit an opposite trend. However, increased delay in ignition timing results in the increased emission of unburned ammonia, leading to the incomplete heat release during combustion and the decrease of indicated thermal efficiency.
