Combustion and emission characteristics of diesel- ammonia-fueled internal combustion engines were obtained by simulation and experiment with a multi- cylinder industry engine to reduce nitrous oxide, N2O, emission which has high global warming potential. The test engine was based on 4-stroke-cycle diesel engine with common rail injection system and ammonia gas was introduced in intake air. Simulation result by combustion CFD with detailed chemistry showed N2O remains at unburned ammonia-air mixture region, and simultaneous reduction of both N2O and unburned ammonia has been expected in high in-cylinder temperature. The test result showed unburned ammonia reduced along with increased in-cylinder temperature in high equivalence ratio and advanced injection timing conditions.
