Soot Formation in Combustion

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 59))

Abstract

The formation of soot in diesel engine combustion is discussed. Different mechanisms of formation of soot corresponding to the different phases of diesel engine combustion, viz. soot formation in the fuel rich zones of the inhomogeneous premixed combustion, soot formation from the fuel injected into the flames, soot formation from the fuel injected into the burnt gases and, finally, soot oxidation, are identified. Some phenomena of soot formation in diesel engines are investigated experimentally by means of rapid sampling techniques and other experiments under diesel engine combustion conditions. From these experiments the need of further experiments for the investigation of single processes for soot formation under diesel engine combustion are concluded. Possible boundary conditions for the experiments are identified.
