The presence of diluents such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen with methane is often encountered to varying proportions in numerous natural, industrial and bio-gases. The paper discusses how such a presence modifies significantly the thermo-dynamic, kinetic and combustion characteristics of methane in air. Experimental results are presented showing how the performance of engines of the spark ignition type are adversely affected by increasing the presence of diluents with the methane. The bases for these trends are discussed and some guidelines towards alleviating these adverse effects are made.
