Studies 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 کاملOn the Dependence of Soot Formation and Combustion on Swirling Combustion Furnaces: Measurement and Simulation
Soot concentration distribution is investigated both numerically and experimentally in methane-air diffusion flame. The experimental work is conducted with a cylindrical swirl stabilized combustor. Filter paper technique is used to measure soot volume fraction inside the combustor. The numerical simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for swirling turbule...
متن کاملDetailed Soot Source Terms Modeling in Turbulent Reacting Flow
To calculate soot source terms a new detailed kinetic soot model is applied to study the formation and oxidation of soot particles in turbulent flames. The model is based on a detailed description of the chemical and physical processes leading to the formation of soot. It can be subdivided into the growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the gas phase reactions and the processes of...
متن کاملA Reaction Pathway for Nanoparticle Formation in Rich Premixed Flames
Aromatics growth beyond 2-, 3-ring PAH is analyzed through a radical-molecule reaction mechanism which, in combination with a previously developed PAH model, is able to predict the size distribution of aromatic structures formed in rich premixed flames of ethylene at atmospheric pressure with C/O ratios across the soot threshold limit. Modeling results are in good agreement with experimental da...
متن کاملSoot Formation and Oxidation in Laminar Flames (Invited)
The flame and soot structure, including soot primary particle nucleation, surface growth and oxidation properties, of 6 premixed and 20 diffusion flames were studied experimentally for various fuels, at temperatures of 1400-2350 K and at pressures of 13-811 kPa (0.1-8.0 atm). Measurements were made along the axes of flames with the reactants at normal temperature (300 K). The following properti...
متن کاملSoot formation and oxidation in oscillating methane-air diffusion flames at elevated pressure.
Comparisons with respect to the sooting tendency are made between stationary diffusion flames and diffusion flames with pulsations induced by oscillating fuel flow. Time-resolved measurements of the soot particle properties in the flames are obtained by combining Rayleigh-scattering, laser-induced incandescence, and extinction measurements into the RAYLIX method. Furthermore, flame luminosity a...
