Abstract

Since the engine combustion is affected by a variety of parameter such as well as fuel characteristics, it is very difficult to find out the clear effect of fuel property. In order to clarify the change of emission characteristic caused by fuel change, we propose a fundamental flame research method using a small pool-wick flame system. By using this system, PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) formation mechanism in a flame was investigated as a fundamental study of diesel combustion. Characteristics of PAHs formation in a laminar diffusion flame were measured by a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) method. It was compared with PM charactersistics measured by a laser induced incandescence (LII) method. The effect of the lubricating oil contamination on the PAHs distributions in the flame was discussed. As the result, it was found that the PAHs concentration in the flame increased with increasing the lubricating oil contamination and it caused the increase of PM formation in the flame.
