The Effect of Oxygenated Fuel Properties on Mechanism of inhibition in Particulate Matter

摘要

It is reported that the particulate matter in exhaust gas is reduced when oxygenated agents are added to diesel fuel, but the inhibition mechanisms is not established. To explain this mechanism, we investigates the amounts of particulate formation and analyzes thermal cracking and condensation polymerization components with a fluid reaction tube apparatus and nitrogen atmosphere. As a result of experiment, it became clear that inhibition mechanism of fine grain was different by fuel properties.
