Abstract

This paper was conducted to investigate the effect of EGR on the combustion characteristics, NOX and CO formation characteristics of constant volume combustion of the biodiesel fuel. To achieve this, methyl decanoate, methyl 9 decenoate, and n-heptane species were applied for the simulation of the biodiesel and diesel chemical reactions during the constant volume combustion process. The analysis of biodiesel-EGR combustion was performed by simultaneously considering the mole fraction which was composed of the N2, H2O, CO2, and O2 species according to the EGR rate (10~60%). As a result of the combustion characteristics, the maximum OH radical was reduced as the EGR rate increase, and the ignition delay was increased at the same time. Most of NOX emission was generated by the thermal NOX reaction, and it was not emitted after the EGR rate of 30% conditions due to the decrease of combustion temperature and oxygen concentration. The reactivity of CO generation was showed the high absolute rate of production in the reaction path related to the reactions of HCO radical, and it has a trade-off relationship with the tendency of NOX emissions. In addition, it was indicated that the UHC emission increased rapidly since the chemical reactions related to the fuel oxidation did not occur actively when the ambient temperature was 800~1,000 K and the EGR rate was 60% conditions.
