Quantitative Analysis of Combustion Process of Marine Dual Fuel Engine under the Framework of Image
Abstract
The methane (CH4) burning interruption factor and the characteristic values characterizing the flame combustion state in the engine cylinder were defined. The logical mapping relationship between image feature values and combustion conditions in the framework of imagery was proposed. Results show that there are two periods of combustion instability and combustion stability during the combustion of dual fuel. The high temperature area with a cylinder temperature greater than 1800K is the largest at 17°CA after top dead center(TDC), accounting for 73.25% of the combustion chamber area. During the flame propagation, the radial flame velocity and the axial flame velocity are “unimodal” and “wavy”, respectively. During the combustion process, the CH4 burning interruption factor first increased and then decreased. The combustion duration in dual fuel mode is 21.25°CA, which is 15.5°CA shorter than the combustion duration in pure diesel mode.
