Numerical study of particle dynamics in laminar diffusion flames of gasoline blended with different alcohols

Alcohols have been considered as promising clean alternative fuels for IC engines. At present, the difference and mechanism of particle dynamics for different alcohols is unclear. In this work, numerical simulation of laminar diffusion flame of gasoline blended with different alcohols was carried out by coupling a gas-phase chemical kinetic model and fixed sectional particle model, then the micro-processes of particle nucleation, growth and...
