Order Of Magnitude

A technical solution has been proposed to reduce the consumption of basic hydrocarbon fuel, to improve the technical, economic and environmental performance of internal combustion engines by affecting the combustion process of the fuel-air mixture with a minimum effective mass fraction of hydrogen additive in the fuel-air mixture. The burning rate of hydrogen-air mixtures is an order of magnitude greater than the burning rate of similar mixtures based on gasoline or diesel fuel, compared with the former, they are favorably distinguished by their greater detonation stability. With minimal additions of hydrogen to the fuel-air charge, its combustion time is significantly reduced, since hydrogen, having previously mixed with a portion of the air entering the cylinder and burning itself, effectively ignites the mixture in its entirety. Issues related to the accumulation of hydrogen on board the car, its storage, explosion safety, etc., significantly inhibit the development of mass production of cars using hydrogen fuel. The described technical solution allows the generation of hydrogen on board the car and without accumulation to use it as an additive to the main fuel in internal combustion engines. The technical result is to reduce the consumption of hydrocarbon fuels (of petroleum origin) and increase the environmental friendliness of the car due to the reduction of the emission of harmful substances in exhaust gases.

Burning Rates

The effect of initial droplet diameter on the burning rate of sooting fuels – n-heptane and 1-chloro-octane – was examined experimentally at low gravity. A 1.2s drop tower provided a low gravity environment to minimize buoyancy and achieve spherically symmetric flames for stationary droplets. Free-floating and fibre-supported droplets were burned, and both techniques gave matching results for droplets of similar initial diameter. Burning rate constants for both fuels were measured for a large number of droplets ranging from 0.4 to 1.1 mm in initial diameter. Results showed that burning rate constants decreased monotonically as the initial droplet diameter was increased above 0.6 mm for both fuels. This decrease was considered to be due to the observed increase in soot formation and accumulation in a shell-like structure inside the flame of the larger droplets. The increased collection of soot inside the larger droplet flames reduced the proportional heat release from the flame and may have acted as a barrier to heat transfer from the flame to the droplet. Flame-to-droplet diameter ratio increased monotonically with time, thus suggesting that quasi-steady combustion was not achieved. The flames and soot shells for 1-chloro-octane droplets with their lower burning rates remained closer to the droplet surface than similarly sized n-heptane droplets.
