This study numerically investigates soot formation in methane-air flames. Increasing pressure enhances soot formation by accelerating the soot surface growth rate, which the model accurately predicts.

Area of Science:

  • Combustion Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Soot formation in turbulent jet diffusion flames is a critical issue in combustion processes.
  • Understanding soot precursors like acetylene (C2H2) is vital for emission control.
  • Numerical modeling provides a powerful tool to investigate complex combustion phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To numerically investigate soot formation in methane-air turbulent jet diffusion flames.
  • To evaluate the influence of pressure on soot formation and the performance of a semi-empirical model.
  • To analyze the sensitivity of soot yield to soot surface growth rate and pressure.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a semi-empirical model for soot formation.
  • Employing a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism based on the flamelet library approach to calculate temperature, density, and species fields.

  • Investigating flame behavior under varying pressure conditions (1 atm and 3 atm).

    • Main Results:

    • The flamelet library approach accurately predicts flame shape and temperature.
    • Soot yield is highly sensitive to the soot surface growth rate and elevated pressure.
    • Increased pressure leads to higher soot surface growth rates and consequently, increased soot volume fraction.

    Conclusions:

    • The semi-empirical soot model, with adjusted constants for soot surface growth, can accurately simulate soot emissions.
    • Pressure is a significant factor influencing soot formation in methane-air diffusion flames.
    • Accurate prediction of flame parameters and soot precursors is achievable using detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms and flamelet approaches.
