A study on single fuel droplets combustion in vertical direct current electric fields

Both the electric force working on flames and the natural buoyancy are body forces, so there is a possibility to control the natural buoyancy by applying than electric field. It is important to discuss the body force in the flame because it induces the convective flow around flames. In this circumstance, combustion behavior of single droplets in vertical direct current electric fields was investigated. Ethanol, n-octane, and toluene were used as fuels, and the flame shape and the burning rate constants were measured. The distance between electrodes is 50 mm, and the applied voltage ranged between −4 and 6 kV as the bottom electrode is ground. When the direction of the electric field is opposite to the natural buoyancy direction, the applied voltage exists that make the flame symmetrical in the vertical direction, and the burning rate constants have local minima for ethanol and n-octane at the voltage. However, the minimum burning rate constants are larger than those under microgravity. This means that the electric force roughly balances with natural buoyancy, but it does not completely balance with the same. When the direction of the electric field is in the same direction as the natural buoyancy, there exist some experimental results, which cannot be explained by the assumption that electric field induces the body force only through the positive ions. This suggests that the additional body force is induced by the negative ions. The effects of negative charged soot particles on the combustion behavior are also discussed for the sooty flame of toluene.     

In-flame soot particle structure on the up- and down-swirl side of a wall-interacting jet in a small-bore diesel engine

This study shows how the structure of soot particles within the flame changes due to the relative direction of the swirl flow in a small-bore diesel engine in which significant flame–wall interactions cause about half of the flame travelling against the swirl flow while the other half penetrating in the same direction. The thermophoresis-based particle sampling method was used to collect soot from three different in-flame locations including the flame–wall impingement point near the jet axis and the two 60° off-axis locations on the up-swirl and down-swirl side of the wall-interacting jet. The sampled soot particle images were obtained using transmission electron microscopes and the image post-processing was conducted for statistical analysis of size distribution of soot primary particles and aggregates, fractal dimension, and sub-nanoscale parameters such as the carbon layer fringe length, tortuosity, and spacing. The results show that the jet-wall impingement region is dominated by many small immature particles with amorphous internal structure, which is very different to large, fractal-like soot aggregates sampled from 60° downstream location on the down-swirl side. This structure variation suggests that the small immature particles underwent surface growth, coagulation and aggregation as they travelled along the piston-bowl wall. During this soot growth, the particle internal structure exhibits the transformation from amorphous carbon segments to a typical core–shell structure. Compared to those on the down-swirl side, the soot particles sampled on the up-swirl side show much lower number counts and more compact aggregates composed of highly concentrated primary particles. This soot aggregate structure, together with much narrower carbon layer gap, indicates higher level of soot oxidation on the up-swirl side of the jet.     

Size distribution and morphology of nascent soot in premixed ethylene flames with and without benzene doping

Particle size distribution functions of nascent soot formed in four burner-stabilized, premixed ethylene-oxygen-argon flames were studied in a spatially resolved manner by online sampling/scanning mobility particle sizer. Particle morphology was analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) of substrate-deposited samples. Two of the four flames were doped with benzene. An aerosol electrometer is introduced to extend the lower detection limit to around 1.5 nm in diameter. The results show that the bimodal behavior of particle size is applicable to all premixed ethylene flames studied. The variation of the size distribution from flame to flame is conclusively attributed to flame temperature variation. Under the condition of an equal carbon concentration, benzene doping leads to negligible changes in the characteristics of the size distribution. For all flames studied, AFM observations show that nascent soot is liquid-like and spreads extensively upon impact on a substrate surface.     

Determination of soot temperature, volume fraction and refractive index from flame emission spectrometry

An inversion scheme based on tomographic reconstruction of flame emission spectra has been developed for nonintrusive characterization of soot temperature and volume fraction fields within an optically thin axisymmetric flame by extracting characteristic information on soot refractive index from spectral gradients of emission spectra. Its performance is assessed by providing input data obtained from intensities simulated by a direct code based on experimental data for a flame available in the literature. Proposed method was found to be especially powerful in the near-infrared range for accurate prediction of flame properties where spectral variation of optical constants is significant.     

基于Raman与FTIR对掺甲烷乙烯/氢气扩散火焰碳烟有序度和官能团的研究

以甲烷、乙烯、氢气混合扩散火焰碳烟为研究对象,采用激光共聚焦拉曼光谱（Raman）和傅里叶红外光谱（FTIR）研究了不同掺甲烷比例下乙烯、氢气混合火焰碳烟有序度及官能团的分布特性,分析了碳烟石墨化和官能团分布,揭示了掺甲烷对乙烯/氢气（氢气比例30%）层流扩散火焰的碳烟生成影响规律。Raman研究表明在甲烷掺混比为3%和7%时,在火焰高度低于4cm位置生成的碳烟有序程度显著降低,表明在此区域存在明显的碳烟生成协同效应;甲烷掺混比增大超过10%时,协同效应基本消失,碳烟有序度上升。FTIR研究表明掺混甲烷对碳烟官能团组成影响明显。掺混甲烷后脂肪族官能团相对含量整体提高。随着甲烷掺杂比的增大,CH₂相对含量增大到一峰值后减小。碳烟中芳香族官能团含量随着火焰高度的上升含量下降明显。掺混3%和7%甲烷,芳香族官能团在2和3 cm火焰高度时,芳香族官能团的含量明显上升。掺混甲烷比高于10%时,芳香族官能团的含量则有所降低。表明少量甲烷掺混使得CH₃和C₃H₃生成有了新的途径,CH₃和C₃H₃增加,而C₂H₄和C₂H₂减少不明显,从而促进了多环芳香烃(PAHs)的生成。继续增加甲烷因为稀释作用会抑制C₂H₂生成从而减少PAHs的生成,芳香族相对含量降低,因而降低了碳烟的生成。研究揭示了甲烷对乙烯/氢气层流扩散火焰中碳烟形成的相互作用：在低甲烷掺混比时存在协同效应促进碳烟生成,而在高甲烷掺混比时协同效应消失。     

Soot formation and temperature field structure in co-flow laminar methane-air diffusion flames at pressures from 10 to 60 atm

The effects of pressure on soot formation and the structure of the temperature field were studied in co-flow methane-air laminar diffusion flames over a wide pressure range, from 10 to 60 atm in a high-pressure combustion chamber. The selected fuel mass flow rate provided diffusion flames in which the soot was completely oxidized within the visible flame envelope and the flame was stable at all pressures considered. The spatially resolved soot volume fraction and soot temperature were measured by spectral soot emission as a function of pressure. The visible (luminous) flame height remained almost unchanged from 10 to 100 atm. Peak soot concentrations showed a strong dependence on pressure at relatively lower pressures; but this dependence got weaker as the pressure is increased. The maximum conversion of the fuel’s carbon to soot, 12.6%, was observed at 60 atm at approximately the mid-height of the flame. Radial temperature gradients within the flame increased with pressure and decreased with flame height above the burner rim. Higher radial temperature gradients near the burner exit at higher pressures mean that the thermal diffusion from the hot regions of the flame towards the flame centerline is enhanced. This leads to higher fuel pyrolysis rates causing accelerated soot nucleation and growth as the pressure increases.

Effect of soot shape on soot radiation

It is increasingly recognized that soot particles play an important role in the radiative heat transfer from flames and smoke. After their formation, these minute particles usually conglomerate into different forms, with the limiting shapes being the spheres and long chains which can be modeled as infinite cylinders. The present work analyzes the effect of soot shape on soot radiation. The spectral extinction coefficient of spheres, being lower than that of the cylindrical particles, falls off rapidly in the near i.r. The shape effect on soot radiation is found to be more pronounced at low temperatures than at high temperatures. In flame radiation calculations the radiative contribution of the various conglomerated soot shapes can be properly accounted for by assuming spherical and polydisperse soot particles. Based on the extinction characteristics of the particles, an experimental method for determining the amount of spherical and cylindrical particles in a soot cloud is suggested.     

Numerical study of the effects of gravity on soot formation in laminar coflow methane/air diffusion flames under different air stream velocities

Numerical simulations of laminar coflow methane/air diffusion flames at atmospheric pressure and different gravity levels were conducted to gain a better understanding of the effects of gravity on soot formation by using relatively detailed gas-phase chemistry and complex thermal and transport properties coupled with a semi-empirical two-equation soot model. Thermal radiation was calculated using the discrete-ordinates method coupled with a non-grey model for the radiative properties of CO, CO₂, H₂O, and soot. Calculations were conducted for three coflow air velocities of 77.6, 30, and 5 cm/s to investigate how the coflowing air velocity affects the flame structure and soot formation at different levels of gravity. The coflow air velocity has a rather significant effect on the streamwise velocity and the fluid parcel residence time, especially at reduced gravity levels. The flame height and the visible flame height in general increase with decreasing the gravity level. The peak flame temperature decreases with decreasing either the coflow air stream velocity or the gravity level. The peak soot volume fraction of the flame at microgravity can either be greater or less than that of its normal gravity counterpart, depending on the coflow air velocity. At sufficiently high coflow air velocity, the peak soot volume fraction increases with decreasing the gravity level. When the coflow air velocity is low enough, soot formation is greatly suppressed at microgravity and extinguishment occurs in the upper portion of the flame with soot emission from the tip of the flame owing to incomplete oxidation. The numerical results provide further insights into the intimate coupling between flame size, residence time, thermal radiation, and soot formation at reduced gravity level. The importance of thermal radiation heat transfer and coflow air velocity to the flame structure and soot formation at microgravity is demonstrated for the first time.
