description abstract | In this paper, five biodiesel global combustion decomposition steps are added to a surrogate mechanism to accurately represent the chemical kinetics of the decomposition of different levels of saturation of biodiesel, which are represented by five major fatty acid methyl esters. The reaction constants were tuned based on the results from the numerical simulations of the combustion process in an ignition quality tester (IQT) in order to obtain accurate cetane numbers. The prediction of the complete thermophysical properties of the five constituents is also carried out to accurately represent the physics of the spray and vaporization processes. The results indicated that the combustion behavior is controlled more by the spray and breakup processes for saturated biodiesel constituents than by the chemical delay, which is similar to the diesel fuel combustion behavior. The chemical delay and low temperature reactions were observed to have greater effects on the combustion and ignition delay for the cases of the unsaturated biodiesels. The comparison between the physical ignition delay and overall ignition delay between the saturated and unsaturated biodiesel constituents has also confirmed those stronger effects for the physical delay in the saturated compounds as compared to the unsaturated compounds. The validation of the proposed model is conducted for the simulations of two direct injection diesel engines using palm methyl ester and rape methyl ester. | |
