Development and Validation of a Lagrangian Soot Model Considering Detailed Gas Phase Kinetics and Surface Chemistry (July 2018 Progress Report)
The role of Sandia National Laboratories to this project is to image in-cylinder soot and PAH under conditions where PAH and soot are on the threshold of formation due to dilution by excess nitrogen gas. The primary effect of dilution is to lower the combustion temperatures, and if sufficient dilution is provided, soot and/or PAH formation can be completely inhibited. Hence, these experimental data are useful for validation of CFD predictions of initial soot and PAH formation.
