Advanced numerical analyses on thermal, chemical and dilution effects of water addition on diesel engine performance and emissions utilizing artificial inert species

The main purpose of current study is investigation on different effects of water addition on diesel engine performance and emissions. A thermodynamic multi-zone model and a semi-detailed chemical kinetics mechanism, including 76 species and 327 reactions, are applied for diesel combustion simulation. The combustion chamber is divided into different zones and conductive heat transfer and bulk and diffusion mass transfer sub models are considered...
