A new model predicts soot and SOF emissions from turbocharged diesel engines using detailed kinetics. The model was validated against experimental data for various fuels and operating conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Combustion Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Diesel engines are significant sources of particulate matter, including soot and soluble organic fractions (SOF).
  • Accurate prediction of these emissions is crucial for engine development and regulatory compliance.
  • Existing models may not fully capture the complex kinetic processes governing soot and SOF formation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a comprehensive kinetic model for predicting soot and SOF emissions from a European turbocharged diesel engine.
  • To assess the model's performance across a range of fuels and operating conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A detailed kinetic mechanism with 472 reactions and 120 species was employed.
  • Thermodynamic data from engine combustion diagnostics were integrated.

  • A non-linear fitting routine based on the Marquardt algorithm was used for background constants.
  • Dilution and mixing were modeled using a Wiebe function.
  • Ordinary differential equations were solved using the Rosenbrock method.
  • Heat capacity calculations utilized interpolating Lagrange polynomials.
  • The model was implemented in Digital Visual Fortran 6.0.

    • Main Results:

    • The kinetic model successfully predicted soot and SOF emissions.
    • Model predictions were compared against experimental data for five different fuels and three biodiesel-diesel mixtures.
    • Performance was evaluated under three diverse European transient urban/extraurban Certification Cycle conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed kinetic model provides a robust tool for simulating soot and SOF emissions in diesel engines.
    • The model demonstrates good agreement with experimental data, validating its predictive capabilities.
    • This approach can aid in the design of cleaner diesel combustion strategies.
