Description
Summary:Taking into account the complexity and cost of a direct experimental approach, the recourse to simulation, which can also predict inaccessible information by measurement, offers an effective and fast alternative to apprehend the problem of pollutant emissions from internal combustion engines. An analytical model based on detailed chemical kinetics employed to calculate the pollutant emissions of a marine Diesel engine in general gave satisfactory results compared to experimentally measured results. Especially, the nitric oxide (NO) emission values were found to be higher than the limiting values tolerated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Thus, this study was undertaken to reduce to the maximum these emissions. The reduction of pollutant emissions is apprehended with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
