Visualization of MF/Diesel RCCI Combustion Process and Soot Emission

Based on the optical engine,the ignition characteristics,combustion process and soot emission characteristics of diesel under different 2-Methylfuran(MF) atmospheres were investigated by high-speed photography and in-cylinder combustion analysis technology.The results show that at the same main injection timing,the ignition time of reactivity controlled compression ignition(RCCI) combustion mode is earlier than pure diesel combustion,and the ignition point is concentrated near the nozzle.Diesel acts as a spark plug to ignite the mixture,but the flame develops slowly in the early stages and the pressure in the cylinder rises slowly.Compared with pure diesel,RCCI combustion model has smaller peak values of in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate,shorter ignition delay period,earlier combustion phase and shorter combustion duration.At main spray time at 6℃A BTDC and 12℃A BTDC,with the increase of MF premixing ratio from 0 to 0.75,the peak cylinder pressure decreased by 19.6% and 26% respectively.In addition,with the increase of the MF heat value ratio,the area of KL factor> 1.5 in the combustion chamber decreased and the space integral natural luminescence(SINL) peak value decreased by 48.37%,and the soot formation rate and yield decreased significantly.However,when the MF heat value ratio was too large(75% of the total calorific value),the ignition delay period increased,and misfire occurred at the main injection timing of 0℃A BTDC.The RCCI mode of MF/diesel dual fuel has better stability,and better control effect can be obtained at different main inj ection timing.

Design and experiment of the side insertion horizontal transplanting device for sweet potato(Ipomoea batatas Lam.)seedlings on mulch film

Side insertion horizontal transplanting sweet potato seedlings on mulch film is one kind of new planter pattern,which keeps the soil warm and moist restraining the infestation of pests and weeds,realizing dense transplanting and ensuring uniformity of sweet potato sizes.Therefore,a side insertion horizontal transplanting device for sweet potato seedlings on mulch film was designed,including the details and parameters of the reciprocating mechanism and the seedling clamping mechanism.Both the two mechanisms and the whole device were simulated and the test bench was built for field experiments to detect if this device can meet the agronomic requirements.The simulation results show that the designed device is in accordance with the agronomic requirements of horizontal transplanting,transplanting depth and transplanting length,and is potential for achieving rational close planting.The lateral length of the designed transplanting device is extended at about 90 mm compared with previous machine,which will promote the number of soil nodules of sweet potato seedlings and the growth of production enormously.The horizontal velocity of the transplanting claw is−17 mm/s when picking the seedling,the horizontal velocity of the transplanting claw 645 mm/s and the vertical velocity 83 mm/s when releasing the seedling.These data could ensure the accuracy requirements of horizontal transplanting trajectory.The field experiment results show the expulsion rate of sweet potato seedlings at 1.38%,the qualified rate of transplanting length and depth at 94.17%and 95.11%respectively,the average length and width of the mulch film breaking hole at 44.67 mm and 43.00 mm in several.The postures of the actual transplanted seedlings are consistent with the simulation results,meeting the requirements of horizontal transplanting with less damage to the mulch film.The designed transplanting device lays a foundation for the development of sweet potato seedlings side transplanting machine.
