Recent Advances in Soot Formation from Spherical Droplet Flames at Atmospheric Pressure
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent developments pertaining to the spherically symmetric combustion of sooting fuels are discussed. The spherical droplet ame is well suited for studying soot formation in droplet combustionbecause of the simplicity of the transportprocess thatresults fromaone-dimensionalcombustionprocess. Recent advances innew experimental designs for forming and deploying droplets in a low-buoyancy environment are revealing effects that have gone unnoticed in early experimental studies. These include soot’s in uence on burning, the role of initial droplet diameter, andthe importanceof radiation.Theseaspects illustrate the richness ofthephysicsandthenewknowledge that continues to be forthcoming from this most basic of droplet burning con gurations.

Experimental study of the effect of helium/nitrogen concentration and initial droplet diameter on nonane droplet combustion with minimal convection
In this paper, we study the influence of inert concentration and initial droplet diameter on nonane (C9H20) droplet combustion in an environment that promotes spherical droplet flames. The oxygen concentration is fixed while the inert is varied between nitrogen and helium. A range of initial droplet diameters (Do) are examined in each ambient gas: 0.4 mm < Do < 0.8 mm; and an oxidizing ambiance...

Soot formation was studied within laminar premixed ethylene/air flames (C/O ratios of 0.78-0.98) stabilized on a flat-flame burner operating at atmospheric pressure. Measurements included soot volume fractions by both laser extinction and gravimetric methods, temperatures by multiline emission, soot structure by thermophoretic sampling and transmission electron microscopy, major gas species con...
متن کاملStudies on Soot Formation and Combustion in Turbulent Spray Flames: Modeling and Experimental Measurement
The present study is concerned with measuring and simulating soot formation and combustion in turbulent liquid fuel spray flames. Soot concentrations inside the combustor are measured by filter paper technique. The simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for turbulent flow, chemical species kinetic modeling, fuel droplet evaporation and combustion and...
متن کاملPressure dependence of primary soot particle size determined using thermophoretic sampling in laminar methane-air diffusion flames
Optical techniques, such as the light extinction and scattering as well as the laser-induced incandescence and the spectral soot emission, have been used routinely to measure soot concentrations in atmospheric flames. Laser-induced incandescence and light scattering have been proven to measure the primary soot particle size as well in atmospheric flames; however, using these two techniques for ...
