Abstract(E)In recent years, there has been a need to reduce CO2 emissions from internal combustion engines in order to realize an energy-saving and low-carbon society. In addition, the substitution of petroleum-based liquid fuels such as gasoline and diesel oil is becoming more and more important due to environmental problems such as global warming, carbon dioxide emissions and global energy demand.
The combustion characteristics of a blended fuel of dimethyl ether (DME) as the ignition source and city gas as the main fuel, which have vastly different ignition characteristics, were investigated in experiments conducted with a test engine. The intermediate combustion products of the two fuel components were also investigated and analyzed by conducting chemical kinetic simulations. Specifically, combustion characteristics were investigated under various the injected heat energy of city gas while keeping the injected heat energy of DME per cycle constant. The results revealed that supercharging lowered the combustion temperature, thereby delaying and extending the main combustion period to moderate combustion reactions. However, excessive fuel input tended to destabilize combustion, such as inducing misfiring, and increased the CO emission concentration. The chemical kinetic simulations revealed that high-level supercharging reduced the quantity of radicals produced, thereby moderating the in-cylinder temperature rise.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
