Abstract
Abstract One exciting research topic is biofuels’ effects on soot formation. For this purpose, the combustion behavior of different biofuel pairs, with the main fuel being hydrogen-enriched methane, was investigated in a burner, using laser-induced incandescence (LII). The soot concentrations in several flames were observed for methanol, isobutanol, kerosene, dimethylfuran, ethanol, and isopropanol fuels coupled with hydrogen-enriched methane. Soot concentration was determined for the additive fuels and the effects of soot particles in the flame and Reynolds number on the flame oscillation and soot interaction were examined. The highest soot formation was observed in the h-methane + kerosene and led to large soot fractal aggregates. The isobutanol has 8.8% higher Re sensitivity for oscillation than isopropanol for soot concentration. Also, isobutanol causes a higher amount of soot production as Re increases. The flame area/soot area ratio decreases 1.7 times faster with dimethylfuran usage compared to kerosene. The dimethylfuran created a higher soot field in the flame by 23.9% compared to methanol and 25.9% compared to ethanol. At the tests, the lowest soot concentration was observed in the addition of isopropanol in hydrogen-enriched methane flame.

期刊介绍:
Current energy systems need a vast transformation to meet the key demands of the 21st century: reduced environmental impact, economic viability and efficiency. An essential part of this energy revolution is bioenergy.
The movement towards widespread implementation of first generation biofuels is still in its infancy, requiring continued evaluation and improvement to be fully realised. Problems with current bioenergy strategies, for example competition over land use for food crops, do not yet have satisfactory solutions. The second generation of biofuels, based around cellulosic ethanol, are now in development and are opening up new possibilities for future energy generation. Recent advances in genetics have pioneered research into designer fuels and sources such as algae have been revealed as untapped bioenergy resources.
As global energy requirements change and grow, it is crucial that all aspects of the bioenergy production process are streamlined and improved, from the design of more efficient biorefineries to research into biohydrogen as an energy carrier. Current energy infrastructures need to be adapted and changed to fulfil the promises of biomass for power generation.
Biofuels provides a forum for all stakeholders in the bioenergy sector, featuring review articles, original research, commentaries, news, research and development spotlights, interviews with key opinion leaders and much more, with a view to establishing an international community of bioenergy communication.
As biofuel research continues at an unprecedented rate, the development of new feedstocks and improvements in bioenergy production processes provide the key to the transformation of biomass into a global energy resource. With the twin threats of climate change and depleted fossil fuel reserves looming, it is vitally important that research communities are mobilized to fully realize the potential of bioenergy.
