Abstract

Based on previous soot studies, this paper proposes a new method to quantify the evolution of the soot generation mechanism in flames. The soot distribution in inverse diffusion flame at different fuel gas velocities was quantitatively measured by laser-induced incandescent (LII) technique, and the soot structure evolution was analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM). Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and numerical simulation were used to investigate the association between the intensity ratio of hydrocarbon atoms of at different positions of the flame and soot formation. Meanwhile, a detailed chemical kinetic simulation of the formation process of soot was carried out, and the flame structure was divided in more detail. The flame state in different regions and the key reactions of soot formation were analyzed. The results presented that the volume fraction of soot measured by LII is consistent with the height-dependent graphitization of the flame and is identical to the yellow definition of the flame. The variation of the C/H atomic intensity ratio reflected the soot formation in flame. The CH intensity ratio in the flame axial direction showed a bimodal distribution, corresponding to the blue phase of soot precursor formation and the yellow phase of soot formation, respectively. In addition, the CH atomic intensity ratio and the CH atomic molar ratio showed a parabolic transition from incipient to mature soot in the soot production region. The CH intensity ratios at different heights are linear in the radial direction, and the main core region of soot production can be obtained when the CH intensity ratio is 0.10 ∼ –0.13. With radial distance increases, it is clear results that the most sensitive reaction of (precursor) A1 changes from C6H5OH + H = A1 + OH to C2H3 + HCO=C3H3 + OH. It reveals that with the increase of yellow light, the soot structure along the flame center line is gradually graphitized, and the graphitization degree is the highest at the axial height of 18.0De ∼ 22.4De. This is consistent with the distribution of CH atomic intensity ratio. The present results demonstrate that LIBS can quickly achieve the initial measurement of soot and provide a new method for the study of flame soot during its evolution.
