Description

Technical Field

[0002] The main chemical reaction inside the internal combustion engine is the combustion reaction. When the liquid fuel enters the combustion chamber, it will be atomized into single droplets, evaporate, and then burn to release heat. The atomization effect of the oil droplets in the combustion chamber directly affects the thermal efficiency and fuel economy. Due to the multiphase flow characteristics of the spray and the complexity of the internal environment of the combustion chamber. It is very difficult to actually study the atomization of liquid fuels. The multiphase flow of the spray can be regarded as the coupling of the multiphase flow characteristics of multiple single droplets. n-Dodecane has the advantages of stable chemical properties, moderate volatility, and good solubility. It is often used as a standard compound for experimental research. The main flow field inside the combustion chamber is the turbulent field. Different turbulence intensities and ambient temperatures have a significant effect on the evaporation characteristics of n-dodecane droplets.

[0084] Step 3: Calculate the gas phase density and liquid phase density when the droplet evaporates.

[0085] The calculation formulas for gas phase density and liquid phase density are:

[0086]

[0087] ρ is the gas phase density and R is the universal gas constant.

[0088] For a single component, the liquid density ρ i :

[0093] Y i is the average liquid mass fraction, N is the type of fuel, ρ i is the liquid phase density of the i-th fuel.

[0094] Step 4: Calculate the evaporation rate constant of the droplet and introduce the influence of Stefan flow.

[0095] The calculation formula of the evaporation rate constant K is derived from the following formula:

[0096]

[0097] When Stefan flow is ignored, the evaporation rate on the droplet surface is completely controlled by vapor diffusion. According to the law of conservation of mass, the rate of decrease of the droplet mass is equal to the evaporation rate on the droplet surface. is the droplet mass, r is the radial distance, D AB is the binary diffusion coefficient of fuel vapor, ρ g,total is the density of the mixed gas, ρ vis the steam density, and Yv is the fuel steam mass fraction. When the steam mass fraction at infinity is considered to be 0 and the above formula is integrated, we can get

[0098]

[0099] Then the radial velocity u of the fuel vapor on the droplet surface is s for:

[0100]

[0101] When the influence of Stefan flow exists,

[0102]

[0103] The above formula consists of the diffusion term caused by the composition gradient and the convection term caused by the Stefan flow

[0104]

[0105] U is the Stefan flow velocity, which is calculated by formula (29), where Da is the air diffusion coefficient and ρa is the air density. Combining the above formula, we have

[0106]

[0107] Assumption D AB is the same as Da, and the total density is a constant (ρg,total = ρv + ρa = constant), and is integrated from the droplet surface to infinity to obtain

[0108]

[0109] Then the following equation is the radial velocity of the fuel vapor on the droplet surface after Stefan flow:

[0110]

[0111] thereby,

[0112]

[0113] The above equation establishes the relationship between the evaporation rate constant and the mass loss rate. The following formula is the evaporation rate constant calculation formula without Stefan flow:

[0114]

[0115] Y v,s ,Y v,∞ are the surface steam mass fraction and the steam mass fraction at infinity, respectively. The following is the calculation formula for the evaporation rate constant under the influence of Stefan flow:

[0116]

[0117] Step 5: Calculate the custom dimensionless parameter to obtain a numerical relationship by linearly fitting the evaporation rate constant and the custom dimensionless parameter.

[0118] Evaporation Damköhler number Da eva The calculation formula is:

[0119]

[0120] The dimensionless evaporation rate can be related to the evaporation Damköhler number Da by the following formula eva In conjunction, by replacing the radial velocity under static conditions with the radial velocity under turbulent conditions, the evaporation rate constant K under turbulent conditions can be obtained: turb .

[0121]

[0122] K turb is the evaporation rate constant under droplet turbulence conditions, is the dimensionless evaporation rate constant:

[0123]

[0124] The radial velocity under turbulent conditions is the sum of the radial velocity under static conditions and the velocity increment. If Δu is replaced by the turbulence intensity u', the newly defined evaporation Damköhler number Da eva

[0125]

[0126] u′ is the turbulence intensity, r s is the droplet radius.

[0127] Then, we can get the and evaporation Damköhler number Da eva The empirical formula

[0128]

[0129] This formula can be used to predict the evaporation rate in the field of numerical simulation of droplet evaporation. The evaporation rate constant K is calculated by the physical parameters queried by the droplet temperature. The evaporation rate constant can be directly obtained by setting the temperature of the droplet and the environment, and the effect of the turbulence intensity of the droplet on the evaporation rate can be accurately predicted.
