Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of temperature prediction, and in particular relates to a method, system and medium for predicting a spontaneous combustion temperature step. Background Art

[0002] The internal combustion engine is one of the main sources of power for transportation in the world, but it is also a major factor in consuming fossil fuels and producing environmental pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and soot. Low-temperature combustion (LTC) is considered the most promising direction in engine research because it can improve combustion efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions.

[0003] Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines experience two-stage autoignition due to low in-cylinder temperature, pressure and oxygen concentration caused by early injection and high exhaust gas recirculation. There are two temperature jumps in the two-stage autoignition process, and the first temperature step is the dividing line between the first and second autoignition delays. The first temperature step is about 200K, while the second temperature step increases the temperature to more than 2000K. The study of the first temperature step helps us understand the autoignition timing, autoignition location and flame propagation. These can help us control the combustion path and avoid areas with high emission concentrations.

[0004] Positive standard fuel (PRF), also known as positive standard fuel, includes n-heptane and isooctane, whose reactivity is similar to diesel and gasoline, respectively. PRF is usually used in reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) and can increase the operating range of low-temperature autoignition. However, the stratification of PRF number has a significant effect on the autoignition delay under medium and low temperature conditions, while the effect disappears under high temperature conditions. And under medium and low temperature conditions, the stratification of PRF number can easily lead to a detonation mode, because a small change in the PRF number can cause a large difference in the autoignition delay. In addition, under the condition of droplet evaporation, due to the different evaporation characteristics of n-heptane and isooctane, the mixing ratio in the gas phase after the PRF droplets evaporate will also change, which increases the difficulty of controlling the combustion path. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above problems existing in the prior art and to provide a method, system and medium for predicting auto-ignition temperature step.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives and the above technical effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0018]

[0019] Furthermore, the calculation formula for the first temperature step when there is no droplet evaporation is as follows: ΔT1 = k(T0-T * ).

[0020] Furthermore, the quartic equation was used to fit the evolution of the equivalent ratio and the evaporation rate ratio of n-heptane to isooctane in the gas phase under pure evaporation conditions over time, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0021]

[0022] Where X hep,g is the concentration of n-heptane in the gas phase after evaporation. The calculation formula for the proportion of n-heptane concentration in the gas phase is:

[0023] X hep,f =X hep,g / (Xhep,g +X oct,g ).

[0024] Furthermore, the evaporation time scale is calculated based on the gas phase temperature and the droplet diameter, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0025]

[0026] Furthermore, the key components are ROO, O2QOOH and KET of n-heptane and isooctane.

[0027] Furthermore, the gas phase temperature evolution results are as follows:

[0028]

[0029] Furthermore, the calculation formula for the first temperature step when there is droplet evaporation is as follows:

[0030] ΔT1=k(φ 1,start ,X hep,f,1 )×(T 1,start -T*(P,X hep,f,1 )).

[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A method for predicting a step of auto-ignition temperature is shown, the prediction method comprising:

[0047] Determine whether there is droplet evaporation in the environment of the positive standard fuel:

[0048] If no droplets evaporate:

[0049] Collect gas phase temperature T0, pressure P, equivalence ratio φ and n-heptane concentration ratio X hep,f And as the initial condition, a homogeneous reaction simulation without evaporation was carried out on the first reference fuel with different n-heptane concentration ratios.

[0050] The slope of the initial temperature is calculated based on the equivalence ratio and the proportion of n-heptane concentration, and the crossover temperature is calculated based on the pressure and the proportion of n-heptane concentration. Thus, the first temperature step is calculated based on the gas phase temperature, the slope of the initial temperature and the crossover temperature.

[0051] According to the homogeneous reaction without evaporation, it is found that the first temperature increase has a linear relationship with the initial temperature, and its slope k is insensitive to the pressure P, and is affected by the equivalence ratio φ and the proportion of n-heptane concentration X. hep,f The temperature corresponding to the first temperature increase equal to zero is the crossover temperature T*, which is insensitive to the equivalence ratio φ and is mainly affected by the pressure P and the proportion of n-heptane concentration X. hep,f control.

[0052] The slope and crossover temperature are calculated as follows:

[0053]

[0054] According to the initial gas phase temperature T0, pressure P, equivalence ratio φ and n-heptane concentration ratio X hep,f Calculate the corresponding slope k and crossover temperature T * .

[0055] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the slope k of the first temperature step and the initial temperature and the crossover temperature T*. Figure 3 , after the slope k and the crossover temperature T have been calculated *, and the initial gas phase temperature T0 is determined, the first temperature step can be directly calculated using the formula. The first temperature step calculation formula is as follows: ΔT1 = k(T0-T * ).

[0056] If a droplet evaporates:

[0057] Collect data on gas phase temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio, droplet diameter, and liquid phase n-heptane concentration ratio. In the presence of droplets, droplet evaporation will increase the equivalence ratio and the evaporation endothermicity will reduce the gas phase temperature. In addition, due to the different properties of n-heptane and isooctane, the evaporation rates of the two are also different. Therefore, the gas phase temperature T0, pressure P, equivalence ratio φ, droplet diameter D0, and liquid phase n-heptane concentration ratio X are used to calculate the gas phase temperature. hep,l,0 is the initial condition.

[0058] In the presence of droplets, the evolution of the equivalence ratio and evaporation rate under pure evaporation is first explored. The equivalence ratio and the evaporation rate ratio of n-heptane to isooctane are dimensionless, and the evolution of the equivalence ratio and the evaporation rate ratio of n-heptane to isooctane in the gas phase under pure evaporation conditions with time is fitted using a quartic equation.

[0059] The calculation formula is as follows:

[0060]

[0061] Where X hep,g is the concentration of n-heptane in the gas phase after evaporation. The calculation formula for the proportion of n-heptane concentration in the gas phase is:

[0062] X hep,f =X hep,g / (X hep,g +X oct,g ).

[0063] Evaporation time scale τ eva It is an important parameter for calculating the equivalent ratio and the proportion of n-heptane. The evaporation time scale is calculated based on the gas phase temperature and droplet diameter. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] The explosion index analysis was used to determine the key components, which were ROO, O2QOOH and KET of n-heptane and isooctane. A six-variable model was constructed to calculate the evolution of the concentration of each component.

[0066]

[0067] C=[C7H 15 O2,C8H 17 O2,O2C7H 14 OOH,O2C8H16 OOH,C7KET,C8KET] T

[0068] R=[k -8 [O2]C1,k -22 [O2]C2,0,0,0,0] T

[0069]

[0070] Using simplified low-temperature reaction paths, the gas phase temperature evolution results are calculated through the heat absorption and release of chemical reactions and evaporation.

[0071] Figure 4 In order to simplify the low-temperature reaction path, the present invention divides this low-temperature path into four parts according to the simplified low-temperature reaction path in the process of self-ignition of the first reference fuel droplet. The first part is from R to ROO, the second part is from QOOH to O2QOOH, the third part is the decomposition of the secondary oxygenation product, and the fourth part is the decomposition of KET. By calculating the heat release of each part reaction and the latent heat of evaporation during evaporation, the temperature change dT at each moment dt in the entire low-temperature self-ignition stage can be obtained, thereby calculating the temperature evolution of the entire low-temperature self-ignition stage. ΔH1, ΔH2, ΔH3, and ΔH4 represent the heat release of the four parts (the specific calculation details are not shown here), L eva As the latent heat of evaporation, C pmix is the constant pressure specific heat capacity of the mixed fuel, and the temperature change at each moment is expressed as:

[0072]

[0073] According to the evolution of gas phase temperature, the temperature is derived with respect to time to obtain the temperature growth rate. The time when the temperature growth rate is greater than 0 for the first time is taken as the time τ before the start of low-temperature spontaneous combustion. 1,start , thus obtaining the temperature T corresponding to the start of low-temperature spontaneous combustion 1,start , gas phase n-heptane concentration ratio X hep,f,1 and equivalence ratio φ 1,start .

[0074] According to the proportion of n-heptane concentration X at the beginning of low-temperature spontaneous combustion hep,f,1 and equivalence ratio φ 1,start , by substituting the slope and crossover temperature formula without evaporation, we can calculate the slope k(φ 1,start ,X hep,f,1 ) and the crossover temperature T*(P,X hep,f,1 ).

[0075] Using the formula ΔT1=k(φ 1,start ,X hep,f,1 )×(T1,start -T*(P,X hep,f,1 ))Calculate the first temperature step.

[0076] After testing, the prediction error of the method of the present invention is only ±6%, and the prediction effect is good.
