摘要
The causes of smoke emission from free gaseous laminar diffusion flames are investigated. Soot concentration, temperature and velocity profiles were measured around the smoke point for a range of fuels. Smoke was emitted when the temperature in the burnout region dropped below about 1300 K. A smoking flame stopped emitting smoke when the temperature in the burnout region was slightly raised locally by absorption of energy from a CO2 laser beam. The temperature drop in the flame is strongly coupled to soot concentration through radiation losses. Soot formation rates are in turn influenced by heat losses and residence times near the fuel nozzle tip. Thus conditions near the nozzle influence the smoke point. The results are also discussed in context with turbulent diffusion flame smoke emission.
