HYDROGASDYNAMICS IN TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES

INFLUENCE OF THE ADDITION OF HYDROGEN AND OF A SYNTHESIS GAS ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROCESS OF COMBUSTION OF GASOLINE- AIR MIXTURES UNDER CONDITIONS TYPICAL OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
A. N. Migun, A. P. Chernukho, and S. A. Zhdanok UDC 537.523.9 + 539.1.04 The influence of the addition of hydrogen and of a synthesis gas on the basic parameters of combustion of gasoline-air fuel mixtures is investigated theoretically. The possibility of feeding gasoline internal combustion engines with lean fuel mixtures with a concentration of 5-10 vol.% hydrogen is shown; this will greatly improve their ecological purity. A. V.
