Abstract: A sensitivity analysis of NOx formation in pilot-ignited natural gas dual fuel engines is performed based on a phenomenological combustion model. The NOx formation mechanism employed in this ...

Abstract: Intense energy security debates amidst the ever increasing demand for energy in the US have provided sufficient impetus to investigate alternative and sustainable energy sources to the current ...

Abstract: With increasingly restrictive NOx and particulate matter emissions standards, the recent discovery of new natural gas reserves, and the possibility of producing propane efficiently from biomass ...

Abstract: Different combustion strategies and fuel sources are needed to deal with increasing fuel efficiency demands and emission restrictions. One possible strategy is dual fueling using readily available ...

Abstract: The performance and emissions of a single-cylinder natural gas fueled engine using a pilot ignition strategy have been investigated. Small diesel pilots (2–3% on an energy basis), when used to ...

Abstract: The Advanced (injection) Low Pilot Ignited Natural Gas (ALPING) engine is proposed as an alternative to diesel and conventional dual fuel engines. Experimental results from full load operation ...
