Simulation of a spark ignited hydrogen engine for minimization of NOx emissions

A global kinetics based model is developed for a spark ignited single cylinder H2 engine for prediction of NO emissions, using mass and energy conservation equations. Based on literature experimental data, a transient spark energy delivery model is developed. A comprehensive heat transfer model is used which considers the heat losses by a combination of forced convection, conduction and natural convection using extended surfaces. It is shown...
