Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is required to reduce unburnt methane from natural gas engines. Methane has a high global warming potential and the impact of methane on global warming is 20 times that of carbon dioxide. The rapid combustion by auto-ignition resulting from unburnt region and reduction of the quenching distance by the high ambient pressure have been proposed as a methane reduction technique.
As a result, auto-ignition which do not affect the combustion (pressure rise) was not able to reduce the unburnt methane. Reduction of 25% methane concentration could be achieved by an increase from 2.0 to 4.5MPa of ambient pressure at ignition timing.
