The reactions were generated using EXGAS and coupled with Leed’s NOx reactions to develop four kinetic mechanisms. These reaction mechanisms described the combustion of natural gas at low (below 800 K) to high (above 1000 K) temperature in combustion chamber. The simula- tion studies predicted that the maximum cylinder pressure was achieved up to 18.0 atm 40.0 atm under fuel leaner conditions (φ≈ 0.6) and fuel rich conditions (φ = 1.13 to 1.3) respectively. The simulation based data was compared with the experimental data (when engine was operated at 3000 rpm, φ = 1.0, Pinlet = 0.67 atm). For fuel rich conditions, high concentrations of CO were observed while NOx levels were lowered while the fuel leaner mixture produced the lower CO emissions and moderate levels of NOx emissions. The NOx and CO profiles depicted tha
