Abstract

Size distributions of nano-PM in diffusion flame of diesel fuel were experimentally investigated using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS). Effect of lubricating oil content on PM characteristics was discussed. Concentrations of dry soot, SOF and sulfate in nano-PM were measured by a PM analyzer. Furthermore, to investigate the mechanism of PM formation in a combustion process, the distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the flame were measured by a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) method. Also, soot distributions were measured by a laser induced incandescence (LII) method. It was found that soot and PAHs concentrations increased with increasing the lubricating oil content.
