Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper presents a macrokinetics-based mathematical model for the numerical simulation of the fuel self-ignition period in a local volume of a hydrogen diesel engine with high pressure fuel injection equipment. A detailed kinetic mechanism of hydrogen oxidation with a special software were used to simulate hydrogen self-ignition in homogeneous chemical reactors for operating conditions of a real hydrogen diesel engine at the moment of the start of hydrogen gas injection. From the results of these simulations for constant-volume and constant-pressure reactors, an equation for the macrokinetics of hydrogen oxidation at high pressures was derived. Using this equation, various operation modes of a hydrogen diesel engine with heating of air and hydrogen were investigated by numerical methods. Ways to reduce the induction period and increase the engine reliability are indicated.
