Analysis of Physical and Chemical Ignition Delay with Di-tert Butyl Peroxide in Diesel Engine using Hydrogen as Gaseous Fuel
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 4 (2024) pp. 272-280
Abstract
Ignition delay is the most crucial parameter that influences combustion and engine performance, but it changes with hydrogen as fuel. Sum of physical and chemical ignition delay is known as total ignition delay, are changes with hydrogen fuel due to high auto-ignition temperature and gaseous nature of fuel. In this present work, the physical, chemical and total ignition delay of diesel engines working on dual fuel mode has been examined, using hydrogen as gaseous fuel with additive di-tert butyl peroxide using diesel as base fuel. These mentioned observations were made on a 3.50 KW Kirloskar TV1, single cylinder 4 stroke direct ignition diesel engine at a constant speed of 1500 rpm with base fuel as diesel and hydrogen as secondary fuel. Physical and chemical ignition delay gets decreased with more than 2% of di-tert butyl peroxide addition. Fuel quality parameters such as density and viscosity influence physical ignition delay, whereas cetane number influences chemical ignition delay of diesel engines working on dual fuel mode.
