Effects of Fuel Molecular Structure and Composition on Soot Formation in Direct-injection Spray Flames
註釋Numerous investigations have been conducted to determine the effect of fuel composition and molecular structure on particulate emissions using exhaust gas analysis, but relatively few measurements have been obtained in-cylinder or under conditions where fuel effects can be isolated from other variables. In this work, dimethoxymethane was used as the base fuel to produce a non-sooting flame in a constant volume combustion vessel at 1000 K, and a density of 16.6 kg/m3. A second fuel was then added incrementally to determine an incipient soot limit. Line-of-sight extinction measurements were used as the primary diagnostic tool to determine if a correlation exists between soot and fuel properties. These data indicate that fuels with carbon double bonds are more prone to soot than the single bonded fuels. Each of the four pure additives tested began to soot at a structure-weighted available oxygen-to-carbon ratio near one.
