Effect of diffusion oxygen enrichment on soot formation in coflow diffusion flames of gasoline-surrogate fuel doped with ethanol

Yang Hua et al.

Summary: This research investigates the influence of diffusion oxygen enrichment and ethanol addition on soot formation and particle dynamics mechanism in coflow diffusion flames. The results show that the peak temperature and SVF of ethanol-gasoline flames increase linearly with the increase of diffusion oxygen concentration, while ethanol addition reduces them. The dominant mechanism of particle growth changes with the increase of diffusion oxygen concentration, but it remains the same after adding ethanol. Ethanol addition reduces soot formation by decreasing PAH condensation rate, while diffusion oxygen enrichment promotes it by increasing temperature and HACA rate.
