Descrição
Resumo:[EN] This paper describes a radiation model for diesel sprays that can predict the heat losses based on spray characteristics to the spray plume due to radiation. The model is based on three sub-models: spray model, soot model and radiation model. The spray model is a one-dimensional model that simulates the axial and radial distribution of a fuel spray for each instant. The soot model is a one-dimensional tool, which is based on formation and oxidation processes calculating the axial and radial soot concentration profile for each instant. The output results of the two sub-models are used as input information for the radiation model, which obtains the radiation heat transfer values for a diesel flame. The experimental measurements used to adjust the different constants and to validate the sub-models were performed in a high-pressure high-temperature vessel using three different optical techniques: Schlieren, to obtain spray penetration, Diffused Back-Illumination technique (DBI) for the soot concentration and the 2-color method for calculating the soot temperature and concentration. The radiant fraction shows values from 0.11% to 0.43% with respect to the total energy of the fuel depending on the operating condition. Taking into account the different assumptions taken for modeling the spray radiation, these results are consistent with those obtained in the literature, in which the radiation was characterized under similar conditions.
