Abstract:

In order to predict the particle size distribution of the diesel engine soot emission, 90% mole fraction n-heptane and 10% mole fraction toluene are chosen as diesel substitutes to construct gas phase dynamics mechanism and surface dynamics mechanism respectively, which are coupled to form the diesel substitute mechanism (HTS mechanism). Combined with the method of moments numeical model, validation of the HTS mechanism is conducted. Then the effect of oxygen concentration on soot particle size distribution is studied by changing the volume fraction of intake oxygen. The results show that the simulation values calculated by the HTS mechanism are basically consistent with the experimental data in terms of ignition delay period, laminar flame speeds, key species and soot particle size distribution in laminar premixed flames, in-cylinder pressure, heat release rate and emissions of the diesel engine. According to the study on the impact of the oxygen concentration on soot particle size distribution by the HTS mechanism, with the increase of oxygen concentration, the average and peak values of soot particle number density decrease, while particle diameters corresponding to the peak particle number density increase. Moreover, the number density of small soot particles (0~50 nm) decreases as oxygen concentration increases.
