Item CFD analysis of hydrogen injection pressure and valve profile law effects on backfire and pre- ignition phenomena in hydrogen-diesel dual fuel engine(Elsevier, 2019) Menaa, Abdenour; Lounici, M.S.; Amrouche, F.; Loubar, K.; Kessal, M.This paper focuses on optimizing the hydrogen TMI (timed manifold injection) system through valve lift law and hydrogen injection parameters (pressure, injection inclination and timing) in order to prevent backfire phenomena and improve the volumetric efficiency and mixture formation quality of a dual fuel diesel engine operating at high load and high hydrogen energy share. This was achieved through a numerical simulation using CFD code ANSYS Fluent, developed for a single cylinder hydrogen-diesel dual fuel engine, at constant engine speed of 1500 rpm, 90% of load and 42.5% hydrogen energy share. The developed tool was validated using experimental data. As a results, the operating conditions of maximum valve lift ¼ 10.60 mm and inlet valve closing ¼ 30 CA ABDC (MVL10 IVC30) prevent the engine from backfire and pre-ignition, and ensure a high volumetric efficiency. Moreover, a hydrogen start of injection of 60 CA ATDC (HSOI60) is appropriate to provide a pre-cooling effect and thus, reduce the pre-ignition sources and helps to quench any hot residual combustion products. While, the hydrogen injection pressure of 2.7 bar and an inclination of 60 , stimulate a better quality of hydrogen-air mixture. Afterwards, a com- parison between combustion characteristics of the optimized hydrogen-diesel dual fuel mode and the baseline (diesel mode) was conducted. The result was, under dual fuel mode there is an increase in combustion characteristics and NOx emissions as well as a decrease in CO2 emissions. For further improvement of dual fuel mode, retarding diesel start of injection (DSOI) strategy was used.Item Knock characterization and development of a new knock indicator for dual-fuel engines(Elsevier, 2017) Lounici, Mohand Said; Benbellil, Messaoud Abdelalli; Loubar, K.; Niculescu, D.C.; Tazerout, MohandDual-fuel mode is a promising technique for natural gas utilization in internal combustion engines. However, for high loads operation, the engine risks to go through a hazardous knocking regime. Knock phenomenon is an abnormal combustion that can cause some disagreeable effects in engines where it occurs. It can even induce brutal irreparable engine damage under severe knocking conditions. The present paper aims first to highlight and characterize knock in dual-fuel engines fueled with natural gas as main fuel and diesel as pilot fuel. Description of this phenomenon is investigated in this type of engines. Knock behavior in dual-fuel engine is compared to spark ignition engine case. Cyclical variability of this phenomenon is studied. A new knock indicator, based on in-cylinder pressure analysis, is proposed in order to identify and evaluate knock in dual-fuel engines. In addition, knock effects on heat release, cylinder wall temperature and engine performance and emissions are examined. New techniques to delay knock appearance in this type of engines are investigated. It is found that the increase in pilot fuel quantity is an effective technique to delay knock onset in NG dual-fuel enginesItem Effect of natural gas enrichment with hydrogen on combustion characteristics of a dual fuel diesel engine(Elsevier, 2019) Ouchikh, Sarah; Lounici, Mohand Said; Tarabet, Lyes; Loubar, K.; Tazerout, MohandItem Truck tire pyrolysis optimization using the self-produced carbon black as a catalyst(2017) Akkouche, N.; Balistrou, Mourad; Hachemi, M.; Himrane, N.; Loubar, K.; Tazerout, M.Item Hydrogen supplemented natural gas effect on a DI diesel engine operating under dual fuel mode with a biodiesel pilot fuel(Elsevier, 2017) Tarabet, L.; Lounici, M.

As a result, intensive researches are undertaken to find appropriate substitution to fossil fuels. We focus in this study on the investigation of using eucalyptus biodiesel as fuel in diesel engine. A single cylinder air-cooled, DI diesel engine, was used to test eucalyptus biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel in various ratios at several engine loads. Performance and exhaust emissions are evaluated for different operating conditions. Results show that neat eucalyptus biodiesel and its blends present significant reduction of exhaust emissions especially at high loads with equivalent performances to those of diesel fuelItem Numerical investigation on di diesel engine running with eucalyptus biodiesel and its blends(2012) Tarabet, L.; Loubar, K.; Lounici, Mohand Said; Hanchi, S.; Tazerout, M.Item Experimental investigation of DI diesel engine operating with eucalyptus biodiesel/natural gas under dual fuel mode(Elsevier, 2014) Tarabet, L.; Loubar, K.; Lounici, M.S.; Khiari, K.; Belmrabet, T.; Tazerout, M.
