Stability of isooctane mixtures with 3-pentanone or biacetyl as fluorescence tracers in combustion experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence is presented in the literature that common fluorescence tracer/fuel mixtures used in engine experiments, 3-pentanone/isooctane and biacetyl/isooctane, may decompose during extended use and storage. Investigations presented here show that preferential evaporation of the tracer and not chemical decomposition is responsible for observed decreases in fluorescence signal strength in these experiments.

Measurement of temperature, fuel concentration and equivalence ratio fields using tracer LIF in IC engine combustion
A technique based on planar laser-induced fluorescence of 3-pentanone, for measurements of absolute concentration, temperature and fuel/air equivalence ratios in turbulent, high-pressure combustion systems such as an internal combustion engine is presented. Quasi-simultaneous excitation with 248 nm and 308 nm of 3-pentanone that is used as a fluorescence tracer doped to iso-octane, yields pairs...
متن کاملHigh-speed laser-induced fluorescence and spark plug absorption sensor diagnostics for mixing and combustion studies in engines.
Simultaneous high-speed in-cylinder measurements of laser-induced fluorescence of biacetyl as a fuel tracer and mid-infrared broadband absorption of fuel and combustion products (water and carbon dioxide) using a spark plug probe are compared in an optical engine. The study addresses uncertainties and the applicability of absorption measurements at a location slightly offset to the spark plug w...

Abstract:A combination of mechanical activation and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) together with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and various microstractural characterization techniques were used to evaluate the starting reaction in the combustion synthesis of TiC-Al2O3 composite in TiO2-Al-C system. The mechanical activation was performed on the mixtures of two components of TiO2/Al, Al/C and ...

2014 The variation of the critical temperature as a function of pressure in nitroethane-isooctane (N-I) and nitroethane-3-methylpentane (N-3M) mixtures has been experimentally determined. Since both mixtures exhibit components having nearly the same refractive index, special care had to be taken to see the transition. The following values were found :
متن کاملReformer Gas Application in Combustion Onset Control of HCCI Engine
Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion is spontaneous multi-site combustion of a nominally premixed air/fuel mixture that exhibits high rate of pressure rise and short combustion duration. To avoid excessive pressure rise rate and knocking, HCCI engines are fueled with highly diluted mixture using a combination of excess air and/or EGR. HCCI combustion is attractive due to ...
