Abstract

In order to investigate the effect of n-heptane mixing on PAH and soot formation, small amount of n-heptane has been mixed in counterflow ethylene diffusion flame. Laser-induced incandescene and laser-induced fluorescene techniques were employed to measure soot volume fraction and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAH) concentration, respectively. Results showed that the mixing of n-heptane in ethylene diffusion flame produces more PAHs and soot than those of pure ethylene flame. However, signals of LIF for 20% n-heptane mixture flame were lower than that of pure ethylene flame. It can be considered that the enhancement of PAH and soot formation by the n-heptane mixing of ethylene can be explained by methyl($CH_3$) radical in the low temperature region. And it can be found that reaction rate of H radical for 10% n-heptane plays a crucial role for benzene formation.

매연과 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소의 생성에 대하여 n-헵탄의 혼합의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 순수에틸렌 대향류 확산화염에 n-헵탄을 소량 혼합하여 실험을 수행하였다. 매연체적분율과 PAH의 생성 계측에서는 레이저 유도 형광법 (laser-induced fluorescence; LIF)과 레이저 유도 백열법(laser-induced incandescence; LII)의 레이저 계측법을 이용하였다. 실험결과로 순수 에틸렌 화염에 소량의 n-헵탄을 혼합한 경우에는 매연과 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소가 상승하였다. 그러나 20% n-헵탄 혼합화염의 경우 LIF 신호가 감소하였다. 소량의 혼합화염의 경우, 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소와 매연의 상승은 n-헵탄 혼합에 의해 저온 영역에서의 메틸 라디칼의 증가로 의한다고 사료된다. 10% n-헵탄 혼합화염에 대한 화학반응 프로세스를 살펴본 결과 H 라디칼에 의한 반응율이 벤젠 생성에 결정적인 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
