Book Fuel Structure and Pressure Effects on the Formation of Soot Particles in Diffusion Flames

Download or read book Fuel Structure and Pressure Effects on the Formation of Soot Particles in Diffusion Flames written by Robert J. Santoro and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies emphasizing the effects of fuel concentration and operating pressure on the formation of soot particles have been conducted in a series of laminar diffusion flames. These experiments have shown that fuel concentration has a measurable effect on the amount of soot formed in the flame. However, a simple, constant proportionality between the fuel concentration and soot volume fraction has not been found to apply for the range of flow conditions studied. This observation is believed to be a result of flame residence time and diffusion effects which mitigate the consequences of reduced initial fuel concentration. Comparisons with simple laminar diffusion flame models are currently being used to investigate the relationship between initial fuel concentration and local flame concentration fields. Similar studies of soot formation in laminar diffusion flames as a function of operating pressure have also been completed for ethene, ethane and propene fuel species. Keywords: Soot formation, Soot particles, Diffusion flames. (JES).

Book The Effect of Elevated Pressure on Soot Formation in a Laminar Jet Diffusion Flame

Download or read book The Effect of Elevated Pressure on Soot Formation in a Laminar Jet Diffusion Flame written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soot volume fraction (f[subscript sv]) is measured quantitatively in a laminar diffusion flame at elevated pressures up to 25 atmospheres as a function of fuel type in order to gain a better understanding of the effects of pressure on the soot formation process. Methane and ethylene are used as fuels; methane is chosen since it is the simplest hydrocarbon while ethylene represents a larger hydrocarbon with a higher propensity to soot. Soot continues to be of interest because it is a sensitive indicator of the interactions between combustion chemistry and fluid mechanics and a known pollutant. To examine the effects of increased pressure on soot formation, Laser Induced Incandescence (LII) is used to obtain the desired temporally and spatially resolved, instantaneous f[subscript sv] measurements as the pressure is incrementally increased up to 25 atmospheres. The effects of pressure on the physical characteristics of the flame are also observed. A laser light extinction method that accounts for signal trapping and laser attenuation is used for calibration that results in quantitative results. The local peak f[subscript sv] is found to scale with pressure as p[superscript 1.2] for methane and p[superscript 1.7] for ethylene.

Book Soot Formation in Propane air Laminar Diffusion Flames at Elevated Pressures  microform

Download or read book Soot Formation in Propane air Laminar Diffusion Flames at Elevated Pressures microform written by Decio S. (Decio Santos) Bento and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2005 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laminar axisymmetric propane air diffusion flames were studied at pressures 0.1 to 0.725 MPa (1 to 7.25 atm). To investigate the effect of pressure on soot formation, radially resolved soot temperatures and soot volume fractions were deduced from soot radiation emission scans collected at various pressures using spectral soot emission (SSE). Overall flame stability was quite good as judged by the naked eye. Flame heights varied by 15% and flame axial diameters decreased by 30% over the entire pressure range.Analysis of temperature sensitivity to variations in E lambda(m) revealed that a change in E lambda(m) of +/-20% produced a change in local temperature values of about 75 to 100 K or about 5%.Temperatures decreased and soot concentration increased with increased pressure. More specifically, the peak soot volume fraction showed a power law dependence, fv ∝ Pn where n = 2.0 over the entire pressure range. The maximum integrated soot volume fraction also showed a power law relationship with pressure, f ̄v ∝ Pn where n = 3.4 for 1 ≤ P ≤ 2 atm and n = 1.4 for 2 ≤ P ≤ 7.25 atm. The percentage of fuel carbon converted to soot increased with pressure at a rate, etas ∝ Pn where n = 3.3 and n = 1.1 for 1 ≤ P ≤ 2 atm and 2 ≤ P ≤ 7.25 atm respectively.

Book Soot Formation in Ethane air Coflow Laminar Diffusion Flames at Elevated Pressures

Download or read book Soot Formation in Ethane air Coflow Laminar Diffusion Flames at Elevated Pressures written by Paul Michael Mandatori and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethane-air laminar coflow non-smoking diffusion flames have been studied at pressures up to 3.34 MPa to determine the effect of pressure on soot formation, flame temperatures and physical flame properties. The spectral soot emission (SSE) diagnostic was used to obtain spatially resolved (both radially and axially) soot volume fraction and soot temperature measurements at pressures of 0.20 to 3.34 MPa. In general, temperature profiles of a given height were found to decrease with increasing pressure. Pressure was found to enhance soot formation with decreased sensitivity as pressures were increased. A power law relation between maximum soot volume fraction and pressure was found to be fvmax & prop;P 2.39 for 0.20 & le; P & le; 1.52 MPa and fvmax & prop;P 1.10 for 1.52 & le; P & le; 3.34 MPa. The integrated line-of-sight soot volume fraction was found to vary as fvline, max & prop;P 2.32 for 0.20 & le; P & le; 0.51 MPa, fvline, max & prop;P 1.44 for 0.51 & le; P & le; 1.52 MPa and fvline, max & prop;P 0.95 for 1.52 & le; P & le; 3.34 MPa. The variation of maximum carbon conversion to soot, as a percentage of the fuel's carbon, was etas, max & prop; P2.23 for 0.20 & le; P & le; 1.13 MPa, etas, max & prop; P1.12 for 0.51 & le; P & le; 1.52 MPa and etas, max & prop; P0.41 for 1.52 & le; P & le; 3.34 MPa. The maximum value of carbon conversion was found to be eta s, max = 27.61% at P = 3.34 MPa.

Book Soot Formation in Non premixed Laminar Flames at Subcritical and Supercritical Pressures

Download or read book Soot Formation in Non premixed Laminar Flames at Subcritical and Supercritical Pressures written by Hyun Il Joo and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental study was conducted using axisymmetric co-flow laminar diffusion flames of methane-air, methane-oxygen and ethylene-air to examine the effect of pressure on soot formation and the structure of the temperature field. A liquid fuel burner was designed and built to observe the sooting behavior of methanol-air and n-heptane-air laminar diffusion flames at elevated pressures up to 50 atm. A non-intrusive, line-of-sight spectral soot emission (SSE) diagnostic technique was used to determine the temperature and the soot volume fraction of methane-air flames up to 60 atm, methane-oxygen flames up to 90 atm and ethylene-air flames up to 35 atm. The physical flame structure of the methane-air and methane-oxygen diffusion flames were characterized over the pressure range of 10 to 100 atm and up to 35 atm for ethylene-air flames. The flame height, marked by the visible soot radiation emission, remained relatively constant for methane-air and ethylene-air flames over their respected pressure ranges, while the visible flame height for the methane-oxygen flames was reduced by over 50 % between 10 and 100 atm. During methane-air experiments, observations of anomalous occurrence of liquid material formation at 60 atm and above were recorded. The maximum conversion of the carbon in the fuel to soot exhibited a strong power-law dependence on pressure. At pressures 10 to 30 atm, the pressure exponent is approximately 0.73 for methane-air flames. At higher pressures, between 30 and 60 atm, the pressure exponent is approximately 0.33. The maximum fuel carbon conversion to soot is 12.6 % at 60 atm. For methane-oxygen flames, the pressure exponent is approximately 1.2 for pressures between 10 and 40 atm. At pressures between 50 and 70 atm, the pressure exponent is about -3.8 and approximately -12 for 70 to 90 atm. The maximum fuel carbon conversion to soot is 2 % at 40 atm. For ethylene-air flames, the pressure exponent is approximately 1.4 between 10 and 30 atm. The maximum carbon conversion to soot is approximately 6.5 % at 30 atm and remained constant at higher pressures.

Book Detailed Studies of Soot Formation in Laminar Diffusion Flames for Application to Modeling Studies

Download or read book Detailed Studies of Soot Formation in Laminar Diffusion Flames for Application to Modeling Studies written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of soot formation in laminar diffusion flames showed that soot particle surface growth under laminar diffusion flame conditions ceases because of the depletion of hydrocarbon species and not soot particle reactivity loss due to thermal aging of the particles. This result was obtained through direct species concentration measurements under well-controlled conditions, while the particle reactivity effects were calculated based on premixed flame results along with particle temperature/time information available from earlier laminar diffusion flame studies. Comparisons with a soot formation model which incorporated detailed chemistry effects showed good agreement in terms of predicted and measured species concentration and soot particle field evolution. In addition, a novel technique for measuring soot volume fraction was developed based on laser-induced incandescence and was successfully applied to similar laminar diffusion flame studies. This technique was extended to droplet and turbulent diffusion flame conditions where a two-dimensional imaging approach was employed to measure soot volume fraction. Finally, the complete data set from these studies was assembled in a form suitable for dissemination on computer diskettes throughout the research community for comparison with modeling efforts.

Book Soot Formation in Laminar Diffusion Flames of Gas Mixtures

Download or read book Soot Formation in Laminar Diffusion Flames of Gas Mixtures written by Margaret Kathleen Bohan and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the factors that effect soot formation is essential to development of predictive models and the design of combustion processes that reduce the formation of particulates. Synergistic effects in flames of gas mixtures, increases in soot volume fraction that are higher than would be expected based on the soot volume fractions in the pure gas flames, have been observed in previous studies. The two isomers of butane were chosen to eliminate changes in flame carbon content, mass flow rate, and adiabatic flame temperature that are normally encountered when comparing flames of pure gases to flames of gas mixtures, and which also effect soot formation. A co-flow annular burner and a line-of-sight attenuation apparatus were used to produce radially-resolved soot volume fraction measurements. The experimental results give further insight into the sooting propensities of isobutane and n-butane, as well as their effect soot formation in ethylene and methane flames.
