Impact of the distribution of holes along the length of a heat pipe on nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions

Abstract

The prospects for the development of modern engine technology are determined by the improvement of individual engine components. The effectiveness of these components forms the overall performance of a modern engine. The key factors driving the development of advanced engines are reliability, efficiency, and environmental friendliness. These factors largely depend on the quality of process organization in the combustion chamber. To analyze the efficiency of a combustion chamber, several parameters can be identified. These include emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), the completeness of fuel combustion, and the average outlet temperature of the combustion chamber (Tg). We are considering the possibility of computer-aided modeling of six different variants of the NK-16-18ST combustion chamber, each with a unique arrangement of holes along the heat pipe
