This document compares the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and lean-burn strategies in a natural gas spark ignition engine using a two-zone combustion model. It presents a methodology using thermodynamic formulations and assumptions to model the combustion process with EGR. The results show that EGR reduced NOx emissions by 70% and increased fuel consumption by 10% compared to lean-burn, while also lowering the combustion rate and prolonging the combustion duration.
