Investigation of the energy characteristics of the use of natural methane in the gas-diesel process of an internal combustion engine

A chemmotological analysis of natural gas used as motor fuel for modern gas-diesel internal combustion engines is presented. An automated system for changing the fuel supply and the ignition timing angle is considered depending on the assessment of the energy characteristic (Wobbe number) and methane number (MH) of natural gas by measuring the physical characteristics of the gas mixture by the additivity of its composition using measurements of the content of each component in natural gas.
