Syngas (H2/CO) in a Spark-Ignition Direct-Injection Engine. Part 1: Combustion, Performance and Emissions Comparison with CNG

The combustion, performance, and emissions of syngas (H2/CO) in a four-stroke, directinjection, spark-ignition engine were experimentally investigated. The engine was operated at various speeds, ranging from 1500 to 2400 rev/min, with the throttle being held in the wide-open position. The start of f...
