The influence of different ignition system parameters on the combustion process of aviation kerosene was studied using this model. The research results showed that under the working conditions of 5500 r/min and 50% throttle opening, as the ignition energy increased, the peak values of average cylinder pressure and average temperature increased, and the combustion duration shortened, The advance of the combustion center of gravity increases the tendency of the engine to knock. Under the same operating conditions, as the ignition timing advances, the peak values of average pressure and average temperature in the cylinder increase, gradually approaching the top dead center, and the tendency of engine detonation increases more significantly.展开更多

Results show that the YQ combustion characteristics are not significantly affected by an increase in chlorine content. Data acquired for combustion conversion are then further processed for kinetic analysis. Average apparent activation energies determined using the model-free method(specifically the KAS method) are 103.025, 110.250, 99.906, and 110.641 k J/mol, respectively, and the optimal kinetic model for describing the combustion process of chlorine-containing YQ is the nucleation kinetic model, as determined by the z(α) master plot method. The mechanism function of the nucleation kinetic model is then employed to estimate the pre-exponential factor, by making use of the compensation effect. The kinetic models to describe chlorine-containing YQ combustion are thus obtained through advanced determination of the optimal mechanism function, average apparent activation energy, and the pre-exponential factor.展开更多

The fuel ratios were set to 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0. Fire behaviors, temperature distributions, mass loss rates, and CO concentrations were measured and analyzed. The results showed that because of the coupled effect of evaporation and the capillary force, the ignition point of diesel-wetted wood powder(less than 3°C) dropped dramatically as compared with that of pure wood powder(higher than 280°C) and pure diesel(higher than 107°C). At the early stage of combustion, diesel is lifted upwards by the capillary force, increasing both the concentration of diesel vapor and the temperature at the surface. When the surface temperature reaches that of the pyrolysis of wood powder, considerable pyrolysis gas emerges and combusts. As the flammable gas is consumed gradually, carbon combusts prominently when plenty of oxygen diffuses to its surface. Regarding the influence of the fuel ratio, the results showed that in cases with lower fuel ratios, the combustion was not self-sustainable. When the fuel ratio was relatively high, the temperature at the flame center was lower owing to incomplete combustion. More CO could be found in cases with higher fuel ratios in the early and late stages of combustion. The results could help to improve knowledge regarding combustion of fuel-wetted wood powder.展开更多

文摘Natural gas is a promising alternative fuel for the internal combustion engine,and natural gas engine has become an efficient and feasible measure to deal with the energy shortage and climate change.Since the laminar flame characteristics are the foundation of the turbulent flame,the laminar flame characteristics of natural gas have a significant impact on the combustion status and efficiency of the engine.A visual constant volume bomb was used to study the influence of the gas components,different excess air coefficient(λ),and initial conditions on the laminar combustion characteristics of natural gas.The experimental results showed that when the initial pressure and temperature were 0.1 MPa and 300 K respectively,compared to propane,ethane had a remarkable influence on the equivalent-combustion laminar-combustion-speed,with an average increase of approximately 5.1%for every 2.5%increase in the ethane proportion.The laminar combustion velocity of the natural gas under different excess air coefficients had a maximum value at aboutλ=1.0,and the Markstein length of the flame decreased with the increase of theλ.The increase in the initial pressure of the mixture resulted in a decrease in the equivalent-combustion laminar-combustion-speed of the flame,a significant decrease in the Markstein length.The increase of the initial temperature of the mixture led to a rapid increase of the equivalent-combustion laminar-combustion-speed,but the effect on the flame Markstein length was not dominant.

文摘The study focused on the effects of the interaction between axial and radial secondary air and the reductive intensity in reduction region on combustion characteristics and NO_(x) emission in a 30 kW preheating combustion system.The results revealed that the interaction and reductive intensity influenced the combustion in the down-fired combustor(DFC) and NO_(x) emission greatly.For the temperature distribution,the interaction caused the position of the main combustion region to shift down as R_(2-12)(ratio of axial secondary air flow to radial secondary air flow) decreased or λ_(2)(total secondary air ratio) increased,and there was the interplay between both of their effects.As R_(3-12)(ratio of first-staged tertiary air flow to second-staged tertiary air flow)increased,the decrease in the reductive intensity also caused the above phenomenon,and the peak temperature increased in this region.For the NO_(x) emission,the interaction affected the NO_(x) reduction adversely when λ_(2) or R_(2-12) was higher,and the range of this effect was larger,so that the NO_x emission increased obviously as they increased.The decrease in the reductive intensity caused the NO_(x) emission increased under the homogeneous reduction mechanism,while was unchanged at a high level under the heterogeneous reduction mechanism.For the combustion efficiency,the interaction improved the combustion efficiency as λ_(2) increased when R_(2-12) was lower,while reduced it as λ_(2) increased excessively when R_(2-12) was higher.The proper decrease in the reductive intensity caused the combustion efficiency increased obviously,while was hardly improved further when the intensity decreased excessively.In this study,the lowest NO_(x) emission was only 41.75 mg/m^(3) without sacrificing the combustion efficiency by optimizing the interaction and reductive intensity.

文摘Combustion characteristics in a scramjet combustor equipped with a thin strut were observed and discussed in this paper.A series of numerical simulations were carried out under different flight dynamic pressure conditions.The parameters of cold flow field and combustion field were used to analyze the combustion characteristics.Based on the basic data,the mixing efficiency,characteristics of flame establishment and propagation as well as combustion field characteristics were discussed in this paper.The influence laws of lower dynamic pressure conditions were further revealed to optimize combustor performance.Results indicated that properly reducing the flight dynamic pressure can enhance the mixing of kerosene.The diffusion of kerosene determined the distribution of combustion zone and heat release.Then,the influencing factor that affected the chemical reaction rate was revealed to shorten chemical reaction time.And the higher flight Mach number made the flame propagation velocity faster and the combustion stability stronger.The fuel mixing became the main factor and low dynamic pressure had little effect on laminar flame propagation velocity under high Mach number conditions.The investigations in this paper are helpful for understanding the combustion characteristics under low dynamic pressure conditions.

文摘An experimental investigation was conducted in a 3 MW pilot-scale tangential combustion facility to explore the co-combustion characteristics of bituminous coal mixed with semi-coke.The thermal gravimetric analyzer(TGA)was used to obtained fuel thermal analysis.The results presented effects of semi-coke blending ratio(BR)on average furnace temperature,ignition temperature,NO emission and combustion efficiency.The excess air coefficient in main combustion sections and outlet were fixed at 0.85 and 1.2 while BR increased from 0%to 50 wt.%.The temperature profiles of combustion decreases along the height of furnace while average furnace temperature fluctuates slightly with an increasing BR.The concentration of NO has an increasing tendency with the increasing of BR.The ignition temperature obtained from TGA measurement agreed well with experiment result.In addition,combustion efficiency was not sensitive to BR and decreased slightly with the increasing BR.

文摘In this study, experiments were conducted to examine the influence of the fuel ratio(i.e., the ratio of diesel mass to wood powder mass) on the combustion characteristics of diesel-wetted wood powder, in which 0# diesel and poplar wood powder were used and well mixed. The fuel ratios were set to 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0. Fire behaviors, temperature distributions, mass loss rates, and CO concentrations were measured and analyzed. The results showed that because of the coupled effect of evaporation and the capillary force, the ignition point of diesel-wetted wood powder(less than 3°C) dropped dramatically as compared with that of pure wood powder(higher than 280°C) and pure diesel(higher than 107°C). At the early stage of combustion, diesel is lifted upwards by the capillary force, increasing both the concentration of diesel vapor and the temperature at the surface. When the surface temperature reaches that of the pyrolysis of wood powder, considerable pyrolysis gas emerges and combusts. As the flammable gas is consumed gradually, carbon combusts prominently when plenty of oxygen diffuses to its surface. Regarding the influence of the fuel ratio, the results showed that in cases with lower fuel ratios, the combustion was not self-sustainable. When the fuel ratio was relatively high, the temperature at the flame center was lower owing to incomplete combustion. More CO could be found in cases with higher fuel ratios in the early and late stages of combustion. The results could help to improve knowledge regarding combustion of fuel-wetted wood powder.

文摘In this study,the effects of porosity of the fore-catalytic bed and after-catalytic bed and preheat temperature on the decomposition and combustion characteristics of a 5N ammonium dinitramide(ADN)-based thruster were numerically investigated in terms of the distribution of components,temperature,and pressure.The results indicated that the porosity of the fore-catalytic bed and preheating temperature significantly affected the decomposition and combustion characteristics.The porosity of the fore-catalytic bed was optimized,and the thrust performance was demonstrated to improve with increasing of porosity of the after-catalytic bed and pre-heating temperature.The results were favorable for the investigation of decomposition and combustion characteristics and could also be beneficial to the design and manufacture of different types of ADN-based thrusters.
文摘Experimental tests have been carried out to evaluate the performance,emission and combustion characteristics of a diesel engine using neat sea lemon oil and its blends of 25%,50%,&75%and standard diesel fuel separately.The common problems posed when using vegetable oil in a compression ignition engine are poor atomization,carbon deposits,ring sticking etc.This is because of the high viscosity and low volatility of vegetable oil.When blended with diesel,sea lemon oil presented lower viscosity,improved volatility,better combustion and less carbon deposit.It was found that there was reduction in NO for neat sea lemon oil and its diesel blends along with marginal increase in smoke,HC and CO emissions compared to that of standard diesel.Brake thermal efficiency was slightly lower for neat sea lemon oil and its diesel blends.From the combustion analysis,it was found that sea lemon oil-diesel blends performed better than neat sea lemon oil.

文摘In this paper,the combustion characteristics of kerosene-fueled supersonic combustor under the conditions of Mach number 2.0,the total temperature at 700 K and the total pressure at 520 k Pa(simulated flight Mach number at 3.5)were studied by using the flame stabilizing method of cavity and strut from three aspects such as blockage ratios,kerosene equivalence ratios,location and quantity of injection holes.The results showed that:(A)The combustor with the strut realized the independent and stable combustion of kerosene.The combustion-induced back pressure in the block test with blockage ratio of 20%and 10%destroyed the inlet flow conditions;while the blockage ratio was 7.3%and 5%,the incoming flow conditions when kerosene was burned stably were not destroyed.(B)The kerosene Equivalence Ratio(ER)was more likely to be disturbed upstream than the induced back pressure when it rose,and an excessively high-ER would reduce the combustion efficiency;when the equivalence ratio was constant,the combustion efficiency of the blockage ratio of 7.3%was higher than the blockage ratio of 5%.The combustion efficiencies were 0.86(ER=0.13)and 0.78(ER=0.19)when the blockage ratio was 5%,respectively;the combustion efficiencies were 0.89(ER=0.16)and 0.82(ER=0.19)when the blockage ratio was 7.3%,respectively;the combustion efficiencies were 0.51(ER=0.25),0.81(ER=0.3),0.65(ER=0.34)and0.62(ER=0.42)when the blockage ratio was 20%,respectively.(C)The porous injection provided behind the strut was beneficial to the atomization of kerosene and improved the combustion efficiency of kerosene;the second injection after the cavity would reduce the combustion efficiency due to insufficient oxygen and combustion space.This study expanded the working range of ramjet and provided a reference fuel injection scheme for Turbine-Based Combined Cycle(TBCC)engine.
