The primary objective of the present work is to collect and review vast amount experimental data on rich laminar premixed flames hydrocarbon fuels reported in recent years, analyze them by using a detailed kinetic mechanism, identifying aspects mechanism PAH soot formation requiring further revisions. assessment was hierarchically conducted, with progressive extension core C0–C2 NUIG up CRECK formation. This here adopted evaluate extensive collected. Therefore, it provides guideline, useful...
A detailed kinetic mechanism of soot formation and oxidation is revised extended to include temperature-dependent collision efficiencies. The efficiency for various particle size studied compared with experimental data molecular dynamics simulations the PAH dimerization where are not available. This model validated in comparison premixed burner-stabilized stagnation ethylene flames at heavily sooting conditions. results showed that quasi-one-dimensional numerical can capture flame structure...
Combustion-generated nanoparticles cause detrimental effects to not only health and environment but also combustion efficiency. A detailed kinetic mechanism employing a discrete sectional model is validated using experimental data obtained in laminar counterflow diffusion flames of ethylene/oxygen/nitrogen. Two configurations, named Soot formation (SF) soot formation/oxidation (SFO) flames, are modeled one-dimensional simulations. Radiative heat losses reduce the maximum flame temperature...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known as soot precursors, but their formation/consumption is not fully understood. A recent comprehensive experimental study of premixed laminar ethylene flame [23] investigated the transition from gas-phase to particles. The complex fluid dynamics this system taken into account compare model predictions with measurements and thus further validate a detailed kinetic mechanism formation. relatively low inlet velocity large distance between burner...
In a context of growing level environmental awareness, emission from aviation are the subject increasing scrutiny. This situation poses important challenges because, due to safety, practical and economic factors, aero-transportation technologies not likely undergo rapid paradigm shifts. An area where innovations being introduced is fuel technology: fuels alternative processes, potentially renewable sources, offer opportunity limiting carbon footprint transportation, moreover, better control...
