Accurately predicting the combustion and emissions behavior of SATFs (and other JFs) necessitates robust experimental databases to elucidate the chemistry of long-chain iso-paraffins, which can compose up to two-thirds of SATF blends and whose behavior is considered to be well-represented by that of iso-dodecane isomers. This study characterizes two laminar non-premixed Planar Mixing Layer Flames (PMLFs) with mild soot loads fueled by nitrogen-diluted ethylene, pure and doped with 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethyl-heptane, respectively. The two PMLFs have the same stoichiometric mixture fraction and total hydrocarbon mole fraction in the fuel stream (<em>X<sub>F,F</sub></em>=<em>X<sub>C2H4,F</sub></em>+<em>X<sub>C12H26,F</sub></em> = 0.260), resulting in nearly the same maximum temperature (<em>T<sub>max</sub></em>≈1800 K) and simple identification of the effects of doping. Importantly, any horizontal PMLF cross-section has a self-similar structure that can be modeled as an equivalent One-Dimensional Counterflow Flame (1D-CF) with vanishingly small strain rate (<em>a</em>). The cross-section at a Height Above the Burner (HAB) of 50 mm is characterized in terms of C<sub>0</sub>-C<sub>18</sub> gas species using capillary sampling followed by GC-MS analyses. Laser-Induced Emission Spectroscopy (LIES) quantifies the soot volume fraction (<em>f<sub>v</sub></em>) profiles at HAB=25 and 50 mm where Elastic Laser Light Scattering (E-LLS) is performed to determine the <em>a</em> of the equivalent 1D-CFs and the profile of the E-LLS equivalent diameter (<em>d<sub>6,3</sub></em>) of soot.

Previous acetaldehyde experimental works have largely focused on low-pressure conditions, with a few exceptions. Some studies report a clear negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior for acetaldehyde and highlight the need for further low-temperature, high-pressure experiments to fully characterize it. In this context, acetaldehyde ignition delay times were measured using a rapid compression machine and a shock tube over a wide range of conditions (580–1410 K, 10–40 bar, and equivalence ratios of 0.5–1.5), significantly extending the very limited IDT data available in the literature at 10 bar. At low temperatures, the most comprehensive kinetic models of acetaldehyde greatly underestimate its reactivity, even those that show reasonable performance for flow reactor species measurements from the literature in the same temperature regime. At high temperatures, model predictions were generally in better agreement with the measured data. To improve prediction accuracy, refinements were made within GalwayMech1.0 model, incorporating recently calculated thermochemistry from the literature and modified reaction rate parameters based on direct analogies and literature information. The resulting chemistry revealed that the acetyl peroxy radical is the primary driver of low-temperature reactivity at high pressures through a closed-loop fuel consumption pathway. Further adjustments in the peroxyl radicals chemistry, which is less relevant under low-pressure conditions, successfully separate first-stage and main ignition in the NTC region.

The important roles of various unique dynamic behaviors in flame spreads are discussed, including fuel-vapor jet ejection from molten polyethylene (PE) surface, internal circulation of molten PE driven by Marangoni convection, dripping of molten PE, electrospray ejecting multiple small droplets from molten PE surface, and lateral dielectrophoresis by migrating a part of main molten PE toward the burnt wire side by forming a secondary molten PE or a liquid film of molten PE and sometimes leading to a formation of splitting flame. Additional behaviors such as vibration/rotation of molten PE due to a vertical dielectrophoresis, flame-leaning toward the burnt wire side caused by ionic wind, and magnetic field induced flame vortices near flame edges are also reviewed. The physical mechanisms of these dynamic behaviors are explained. Various regimes are identified depending on the occurrence of abovementioned phenomena. The dependence of flame spread rate on relevant physical parameters is reviewed, revealing a non-monotonic response to applied AC voltage and frequency, due to the intricate interactions among various dynamic phenomena. Phenomenological correlations are established for the FSR using key physical parameters including wire diameter, wire core diameter, applied voltage and frequency, and radial electric field gradient. To better understand the dynamic behaviors of molten insulation, the combustion of a droplet suspended on a wire was investigated, isolating the effects of solid-to-liquid phase change and the asymmetric distribution of molten PE between the burnt and unburned sides of the wire.

A novel dual-swirl GAP combustor, incorporating conical central electrode serving as a bluff body, is used to generate a rotating gliding arc plasma within the fuel lance. The plasma power is maintained below 1.4 % of the thermal power of the flame across all experimental conditions. This is the first study to apply GAP directly to the fuel side, facilitating premixing immediately after plasma interaction. The results reveal that plasma significantly enhances lean and rich blowout limits by 15–20 % and 30–35 %, respectively. This is mainly due to the continuous local ignition effect through heating and the generation of active species pools. Plasma actuation also results in a substantial reduction in NO and NO₂ emissions, decreasing by 40–80 % and 30–50 %, respectively, depending on ϕ<sub>g</sub> in the range of 0.76 to 1.05.

However, the influence of multi-stage flame interactions and mixing dynamics on the competing routes of nitrogen conversion remains insufficiently understood. In the present study, these effects are systematically investigated using a two-stage tangential swirl burner, with particular emphasis on their roles in governing flame stability and NO<em><sub>x</sub></em> formation.

Detailed knowledge of the evolution of optical properties during the transition from molecular species to particles is essential for unraveling this phenomenon and enabling accurate particle volume fraction measurements of freshly formed particles in combustion environments. This study monitors the transition from molecular precursors to incipient soot particles during toluene pyrolysis behind reflected shock waves by laser-induced emission spectroscopy. Time-resolved and spectrally-resolved measurements of laser-induced emission were performed with excitation at 266, 355, 532, or 1064 nm. Microsecond time resolution was provided upon laser-pulse excitation via simultaneous measurements at various spatial locations behind the reflected shock wave, using the reaction-time-resolved detection concept. These measurements trace the evolution of different stages of the carbonaceous species evolving from red-shifted laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) progressing from toluene decomposition and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation to the onset of incipient soot and subsequent laser-induced incandescence (LII) from refractory soot. LII signals recorded after 1064-nm excitation were utilized to identify initial particle formation, while time-resolved LII measurements provided insight into particle-size evolution. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of soot inception and provide optical properties of the early stage of soot particles.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":408,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Combustion Institute","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 105867"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145216398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
