This paper presents a comprehensive optimization approach for enhancing the performance of a methanol/diesel Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) engine. Initially, a hybrid fuel engine combustion chamber model was developed using AVL-FIRE software, and the simulated results were compared with the values obtained from bench tests. An orthogonal experimental design was employed to optimize five key factors, namely methanol blending ratio, EGR rate, injection advance angle, intake pressure, and intake temperature. Evaluation indexes were established, with indicated power and NO emissions assigned weights of 0.35 and 0.65, respectively. The optimal parameter combinations were determined as follows: methanol blending ratio (a1=20%), EGR rate (a2=12.5%), injection advance angle (a3=16.6°CA), intake temperature (a4 = 315.15 K), and intake pressure (a5=0.173 MPa). The indicated power of the optimized configuration reached 47.8 kW, slightly lower than the original 55 kW, while the NO emission mass fraction decreased to 1.9×10-4%, representing a significant reduction of 77.6% compared to the original value of 8.5×10-4%. This optimization methodology demonstrates the effective reduction of NO emissions without compromising power performance in methanol/diesel EGR engines.

In order to further investigate the performance of the butanol-diesel dual-fuel engine, this paper uses the 4190ZLC-2 marine medium-speed diesel engine as a prototype and establishes a dual-fuel engine high-pressure cycle model using AVL-FIRE simulation software. The injection advance angle was set to 16.6°, 18.6°, 20.6° and 22.6° respectively, and its effect on the performance of the dual-fuel engine was investigated by varying the injection advance angle. The results show that as the injection advance angle increases, the incylinder pressure and temperature also increase. When the injection advance angle is 22.6°CA, compared with the original engine, CO emission is reduced by 16.8%, NO emission is increased by 7.4%, carbon smoke emission is reduced by 16.9%, and the indicated power is 52.6kW, which is increased by 1.8%.

We in order to study the influence of intake parameters on the combustion and emission of natural gas-diesel dual-fuel Marine engine, AVL_FIRE simulation software was used to build a high pressure cycle model of combustion chamber based on 4190ZLC-2 Marine medium-speed diesel engine. The accuracy of the model was verified by comparing the simulation data with the cylinder pressure curve obtained from bench test. The influence of intake parameters on combustion and emission performance was studied by model simulation. The results show that the combustion quality can be improved by increasing the intake temperature, and the power performance and economy can be improved by appropriate intake temperature. Increasing the intake pressure has the effect of supercharging, appropriately increasing the intake pressure can obtain better power and emission, and can also avoid the rough operation of dual-fuel diesel engine and reduce the noise

In this paper, through the electromechanical control modification of 4190 ZLC-2 diesel, the electronic fuel injection model is established by AMESim simulation software, and the high pressure circulation model of butanol/diesel dual fuel engine is established by AVL-FIRE software, the appropriate initial parameters module and corresponding boundary conditions are set. At the condition of low-temperature combustion through exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), in the optimization scheme studying the influence of butan blending ratio and EGR rate on diesel engine emissions. The result shows that the addition of butanol can improve the low temperature combustion, reducing the formation of CO and soot. The introduction of EGR can achieve low temperature combustion and significantly reduce NO emissions. The optimal parameter set for parameter matching is obtained: B20/EGR12.5 %.
