Abstract:
To accurately predict the combustion and emissions characteristics of a diesel engine fueled with n-butanol/diesel blends, a more realistic compact-sized skeletal mechanism with (149 species and 497 reactions) was developed in this study based on the decoupling method. It was generated by integrating the simplified fuel-related sub-mechanisms of n-butanol and diesel surrogates including n-dodecane, iso-cetane, iso-octane, toluene, and decalin. The same detailed core sub-mechanisms of C 2 -C 3 and H 2 /CO/C 1 , in which the formation and oxidation of benzene (A 1 ) and larger polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) up to coronene (A 7 ) of alkanes, aromatics, cycloalkanes and alcohols were used. The PAH formation behavior of individual fuel components in the mechanism were analyzed in detail based on the methods of pathway analysis, rate of production and sensitivity analysis. The mechanism was extensively validated against ignition delay time, laminar flame speed, species profile and three-dimensional engine simulation. The results show that the effects of fuel types on the PAH formation are satisfactorily captured, and the combustion characteristics of n-butanol/diesel blends and each component are reliably reproduced by the current mechanism.
