Affects of steam on hydrocarbons
Affects of steam on hydrocarbons
(OP)
Would anybody know if there is a chemical reaction in
cylinder bore between steam and hydrocarbons( left over
from previous burn). If water is injected with heated and recompressed gases, would there be an action called reforming. Would gases like co,co2,nox be recombined to make heavier percipitates. What percentage of exhaust is
co,co2,nox,and pm be in a teir 11 ci engine.

If you have a nickel catalyst, the reactions need the temperature to be above about 980 Kelvin.
here's a reference on steam reforming:
