TL;DR: In this article, a methane direct injection stratified charge engine premixed with a hydrogen lean mixture was analyzed, and the results showed that the combustion system achieved a higher thermal efficiency due to higher flame propagation velocity and lower exhaust emissions.
Abstract: Characteristics of combustion and emissions in a methane direct injection stratified charge engine premixed with hydrogen lean mixture were analyzed. Results showed the combustion system achieved a higher thermal efficiency due to higher flame propagation velocity and lower exhaust emissions. An increase in the amount of premixed hydrogen stabilizes the combustion to reduce HC and CO exhaust emission, and increases the degree of constant volume combustion and NOx exhaust emission. The increase in NOx emission can be maintained at a lower level with retarded ignition timing without deteriorating the improved thermal efficiency.

23 Jan 1987TL;DR: In this article, an air supply apparatus for fuel cell system serves to supply air to the cell cathode and the combustion section of the reformer in the fuel cell systems and recover energy from exhaust gases being discharged from the system.
Abstract: The air supply apparatus for fuel cell system serves to supply air to the cell cathode and the combustion section of the reformer in the fuel cell system and recover energy from exhaust gases being discharged from the system. The apparatus has a compressor for supply of air to the system, an exhaust gas turbine for driving the compressor through recovery of energy from the system exhaust gas, an auxiliary combustor for compensating deficiency of the energy being recovered, if any, and pipe lines connecting those parts. The auxiliary combustor particularly employs a combustion catalyst in its combustion section. The apparatus secures stable combustion of the fuel gas in the auxiliary combustor, and its operation displays improved stability against any load change or partial load.
