Title: Spray and combustion characteristics of butanol-diesel and hexanol-diesel blends under high-altitude conditions

Abstract

Due to their excellent fuel properties, butanol and hexanol are considered as two promising renewable fuels for diesel engine applications. The objective of this work is to investigate and compare the spray and combustion characteristics of butanol-diesel and hexanol-diesel blends under high-altitude conditions. A constant volume combustion chamber was used to provide the desired environment. Experiments were conducted under various ambient temperatures ranging from 800 K to 1200 K and various ambient densities ranging from 11 kg/m3 to 15 kg/m3. Fuel blends with 20% blend ratio (B20 and H20) and neat diesel were used as test fuels. The spray and combustion characteristics of the test fuels were analyzed using measured liquid penetration length, ignition delay, combustion duration, flame lift-off length (FLoL), and spatially integrated natural luminosity (SINL). Here the results revealed that B20 and H20 had shorter liquid penetration length than diesel under low ambient temperature and density conditions due to their higher volatility. The blended fuels showed significantly longer ignition delay than diesel under low ambient temperature conditions, but it could be overcome by increasing the ambient temperature. Adding butanol and hexanol into diesel both extended FLoL especially under low ambient temperature and density conditions, but the effects ofmore »« less

Effects of isopropanol-butanol-ethanol and diesel fuel blends on combustion characteristics in a constant volume chamber

Journal Article Lee, Timothy H. ; Hansen, Alan C. ; Li, Gang ; ... - Fuel

Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) has been directly used in modern engines as a way to eliminate the high separation cost during the butanol fermentation process. However, further development of ABE could be restricted by the corrosiveness of acetone in the mixture. By converting ABE into Isopropanol-Butanol-Ethanol (IBE) in a single biochemical step, a different yet more stable alternative fuel could be available. This study is aimed to investigate the performance, combustion, and soot luminosity of a constant volume chamber fueled with varying ratios of IBE and diesel. IBE blended at 20% and 40% with 80% and 60% diesel, by volume respectively, andmore »« less

Spray and combustion characteristics of pure hydrothermal liquefaction biofuel and mixture blends with diesel

Journal Article Yang, Ziming ; Lee, Timothy H. ; Li, Yikai ; ... - Fuel

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is the process in which biological compounds can be converted into biocrude diesel; various feedstocks, such as algae and wet biowaste, can be utilized. Almost 20 million dry tons of wet biowaste is deposited in U.S. municipal wastewaters annually. If recovered and converted into biodiesel, it can act as a massive source of renewable energy. Preliminary experiments on a diesel engine show that HTL fuel can achieve similar performance and emission levels to diesel. In order to further understand the influence of the HTL fuel properties, the HTL fuel and blends with diesel are observed in amore »« less

An Experimental and Numerical Study of Diesel Spray Impingement on a Flat Plate

Journal Article Zhao, Le ; Torelli, Roberto ; Zhu, Xiucheng ; ... - SAE International Journal of Fuels and Lubricants (Online)

Combustion systems with advanced injection strategies have been extensively studied, but there still exists a significant fundamental knowledge gap on fuel spray interactions with the piston surface and chamber walls. This paper is meant to provide detailed data on spray-wall impingement physics and support the spray-wall model development. The experimental work of spray-wall impingement with non-vaporizing spray characterization, was carried out in a high pressure-temperature constant-volume combustion vessel. The simultaneous Mie scattering of liquid spray and schlieren of liquid and vapor spray were carried out. Diesel fuel was injected at a pressure of 1500 bar into ambient gas at amore »« less

Simultaneous rainbow schlieren deflectometry and OH* chemiluminescence imaging of a diesel spray flame in constant pressure flow rig

Journal Article Parker, Allen ; Wanstall, C. Taber ; Reggeti, Shawn A. ; ... - Proceedings of the Combustion Institute

The physical and chemical phenomena that take place during fuel injection, entrainment and fuel-air mixing, cool-flame and ignition reaction, and combustion in diesel sprays still require extensive study. Global parameters such as liquid and vapor jet penetration lengths and spreading rates render useful yet still limited information. Understanding of the temporal evolution of the spray as it progresses through various steps is needed to develop advanced clean combustion modes and high-fidelity predictive models with sufficient accuracy. In this study, high-speed rainbow schlieren deflectometry (RSD) and OH* chemiluminescence are used to simultaneously image fuel-air mixing, cool-flame reactions, ignition, flame propagation andmore »« less
