Effects of soot absorption and scattering on LII intensities in laminar coflow diffusion flames

Absorption and scattering of laser-induced incandescence (LII) intensities by soot particles present between the measurement volume and the detector were numerically investigated at detection wavelengths of 400 and 780 nm in a laminar coflow ethylene/air flame. The radiative properties of aggregated soot particles were calculated using the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans polydisperse fractal aggregate theory. The radiative transfer equation in emitting, absorbing, and scattering media was solved using the discrete-ordinates method. The radiation intensity along an arbitrary direction was obtained using the infinitely small weight technique. The effects of absorption and scattering on LII intensities are found to be significant under the conditions of this study, especially at the shorter detection wavelength and when the soot volume fraction is higher. Such a wavelength-dependent signal-trapping effect leads to a lower soot particle temperature estimated from the ratio of uncorrected LII intensities at the two detection wavelengths. The corresponding soot volume fraction derived from the absolute LII intensity technique is overestimated. The Beer-Lambert relationship can be used to describe radiation attenuation in absorbing and scattering media with good accuracy provided the effective extinction coefficient is adequately.     

Experimental determination of distributions of soot particle diameter and number density by emission and scattering techniques

A diagnostics method was presented that uses emission and scattering techniques to simultaneously determine the distributions of soot particle diameter and number density in hydrocarbon flames. Two manta G-504 C cameras were utilized for the scattering measurement, with consideration of the attenuation effect in the flames according to corresponding absorption coefficients. Distributions of soot particle diameter and number density were simultaneously determined using the measured scattering coefficients and absorption coefficients under multiple wavelengths already measured with a SOC701 V hyper-spectral imaging device, according to the Mie scattering theory. A flame was produced using an axisymmetric laminar diffusion flame burner with 194 mL/min ethylene and 284 L/min air, and distributions of particle diameter and number density for the flame were presented. Consequently, the distributions of soot volume fraction were calculated using these two parameters as well, which were in good agreement with the results calculated according to the Rayleigh approximation,demonstrating that the proposed diagnostic method is capable of simultaneous determination of the distributions of soot particle diameter and number density.     

Transient soot dynamics in turbulent nonpremixed ethylene-air counterflow flames

The dynamics of soot formation in turbulent ethylene-air nonpremixed counterflow flames is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS) with a semi-empirical soot model and the discrete ordinate method (DOM) as a radiation solver. Transient characteristics of soot behavior are studies by a model problem of flame interaction with turbulence inflow at various intensities. The interaction between soot and turbulence reveals that the soot volume fraction depends on the combined effects of the local conditions of flow, temperature, and fuel concentration, while the soot number density depends predominantly on the high temperature regions. Depending on the relative strength between mixing and reaction, the effects of turbulence on the soot formation lead to three distinct paths in deviating the data points away from the laminar flame conditions. It is found that turbulence has twofold effects of increasing the overall soot yield by generating additional flame volume and of reducing soot by dissipating soot pockets out of high-temperature regions. The relative importance between the two effects depends on the relative length scales of turbulence and flame, suggesting that a nonmonotonic response of soot yield to turbulence level may be expected in turbulent combustion.     

Numerical investigation of the effect of signal trapping on soot measurements using LII in laminar coflow diffusion flames

Laser-induced incandescence has been rapidly developed into a powerful diagnostic technique for measurements of soot in many applications. The incandescence intensity generated by laser-heated soot particles at the measurement location suffers the signal trapping effect caused by absorption and scattering by soot particles present between the measurement location and the detector. The signal trapping effect was numerically investigated in soot measurements using both a 2D LII setup and the corresponding point LII setup at detection wavelengths of 400 and 780 nm in a laminar coflow ethylene/air flame. The radiative properties of aggregated soot particles were calculated using the Rayleigh–Debye–Gans polydisperse fractal aggregate theory. The radiative transfer equation in emitting, absorbing, and scattering media was solved using the discrete-ordinates method. The radiation intensity along an arbitrary direction was obtained using the infinitely small weight technique. The contribution of scattering to signal trapping was found to be negligible in atmospheric laminar diffusion flames. When uncorrected LII intensities are used to determine soot particle temperature and the soot volume fraction, the errors are smaller in 2D LII setup where soot particles are excited by a laser sheet. The simple Beer–Lambert exponential attenuation relationship holds in LII applications to axisymmetric flames as long as the effective extinction coefficient is adequately defined.     

Reconstruction model for temperature and concentration profiles of soot and metal-oxide nanoparticles in a nanofluid fuel flame by using a CCD camera

This paper presents a numerical study on the simultaneous reconstruction of temperature and volume fraction fields of soot and metal-oxide nanoparticles in an axisymmetric nanofluid fuel sooting flame based on the radiative energy images captured by a charge-coupled device(CCD) camera. The least squares QR decomposition method was introduced to deal with the reconstruction inverse problem. The effects of ray numbers and measurement errors on the reconstruction accuracy were investigated. It was found that the reconstruction accuracies for volume fraction fields of soot and metaloxide nanoparticles were easily affected by the measurement errors for radiation intensity, whereas only the metal-oxide volume fraction field reconstruction was more sensitive to the measurement error for the volume fraction ratio of metaloxide nanoparticles to soot. The results show that the temperature, soot volume fraction, and metal-oxide nanoparticles volume fraction fields can be simultaneously and accurately retrieved for exact and noisy data using a single CCD camera.     

Multi-diagnostic soot measurements in a laminar diffusion flame to assess the ISF database consistency

Control of soot emission raises fundamental issues and has important practical implications requiring a full understanding of soot production and oxidation processes. The research reported in the present paper intends to contribute to the studies carried out within the frame of the International Sooting Flame workshop (ISF) on laminar sooting flames. The objective is to identify and quantify sources of experimental errors and to extend the existing database for the Yale laminar diffusion burner flame. This will especially enable more comprehensive comparisons among different experimental techniques and numerical simulations. To this end, a combined use of Modulated Absorption/Emission (MAE) and Laser Induced Incandescence (LII) techniques is presented in this work. Results are compared with already existing experimental data in terms of soot volume fraction, soot temperature and primary particle size distribution, highlighting the high variability of the experimental data depending on the measurement techniques as well as the underlying assumptions and post-processing methods. These complementary original data may serve to guide the validation of numerical modeling in this configuration.     

Relationship between soot volume fraction and LII signal in AC-LII: effect of primary soot particle diameter polydispersity

Theoretical analysis and numerical calculations were conducted to investigate the relationship between soot volume fraction and laser-induced incandescence (LII) signal within the context of the auto-compensating LII technique. The emphasis of this study lies in the effect of primary soot particle diameter polydispersity. The LII model was solved for a wide range of primary soot particle diameters from 2 to 80 nm. For a log-normally distributed soot particle ensemble encountered in a typical laminar diffusion flame at atmospheric pressure, the LII signals at 400 and 780 nm were calculated. To quantify the effects of sublimation and differential conduction cooling on the determined soot volume fraction in auto-compensating LII, two new quantities were introduced and demonstrated to be useful in LII study: an emission intensity distribution function and a scaled soot volume fraction. When the laser fluence is sufficiently low to avoid soot mass loss due to sublimation, accurate soot volume fraction can be obtained as long as the LII signals are detected within the first 200 ns after the onset of the laser pulse. When the laser fluence is in the high fluence regime to induce significant sublimation, however, the LII signals should be detected as early as possible even before the laser pulse reaches its peak when the laser fluence is sufficiently high. The analysis method is shown to be useful to provide guidance for soot volume fraction measurements using the auto-compensating LII technique.

The effect of preferential diffusion on soot formation in a laminar ethylene/air diffusion flame

The influence of preferential diffusion on soot formation in a laminar ethylene/air diffusion flame was investigated by numerical simulation using three different transport property calculation methods. One simulation included preferential diffusion and the other two neglected preferential diffusion. The results show that the neglect of preferential diffusion or the use of unity Lewis number for all species results in a significant underprediction of soot volume fraction. The peak soot volume fraction is reduced from 8.0 to 2.0 ppm for the studied flame when preferential diffusion is neglected in the simulation. Detailed examination of numerical results reveals that the underprediction of soot volume fraction in the simulation neglecting preferential diffusion is due to the slower diffusion of some species from main reaction zone to PAH and soot formation layer. The slower diffusion of these species causes lower PAH formation rate and thus results in lower soot inception rate and smaller particle surface area. The smaller surface area further leads to smaller surface growth rate. In addition, the neglect of preferential diffusion also leads to higher OH concentration in the flame, which causes the higher specific soot oxidation rate. The lower inception rate, smaller surface growth rate and higher specific oxidation rate results in the lower soot volume fraction when preferential diffusion is neglected. The finding of the paper implies the importance of preferential diffusion for the modeling of not only laminar but maybe also some turbulent flames.
