Experimental study on evaporation characteristics of n-Al/decane droplet heated by laser
-
摘要:
为了研究纳米铝颗粒(Al NPs)作为高能添加剂在碳氢燃料中的应用,实验将正癸烷、油酸和纳米铝颗粒分别作为燃料、表面活性剂和金属添加剂,制备了纳米铝癸烷单液滴。在波长为
1064 nm的恒功率红外激光激励下,研究了纳米铝颗粒质量分数(1%~15%)和激光功率(9.1~100.0 W)对液滴蒸发和燃烧特性的影响。结果表明:纳米铝颗粒的添加显著加速了液滴蒸发,并出现了微爆和燃烧现象。微爆是纳米铝癸烷液滴能被点燃的关键,其喷射出的铝颗粒在空气中被激光点燃,形成火焰促进燃料液滴燃烧。通过增大激光功率和提高含铝量,能加速液滴温升和提高微爆频率,从而提升液滴蒸发速率。随着纳米铝颗粒质量分数从2.5%增加到15%,液滴点火敏感性显著增强,点燃液滴所需的最小激光功率从83.3 W减少到28.0 W。Abstract:To investigate the application of aluminum nano-particles (Al NPs) as high-energy additives in hydrocarbon fuels, experiments were conducted using
n -decane, oleic acid (OA), and Al NPs as fuel, surfactant, and metal additive, respectively, to prepare singlen -Al/decane droplet. The effects of Al NPs mass fraction (1%—15%) and laser power (9.1—100.0 W) on the droplet evaporation and combustion characteristics were studied under infrared laser excitation at a wavelength of1064 nm. The results showed that the addition of Al NPs significantly accelerated droplet evaporation and resulted in micro-explosions and combustion phenomena. Micro-explosions were the key to ignite then -Al/decane droplet. The ejected Al NPs were ignited by laser in the air, forming a flame that promoted the combustion of fuel droplet. By increasing the laser power and aluminum content, the temperature rise of droplet can be accelerated and the frequency of micro-explosions can be increased, thereby improving the evaporation rate of droplet. As the mass fraction of Al NPs increased from 2.5% to 15%, the ignition sensitivity of droplet was significantly enhanced, and the minimum laser power required to ignite droplet was reduced from 83.3 W to 28.0 W. -
