Ignitability of Diesel Fuel with an Inclusion of Ultrafine Carbon Particles

  • HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN COMBUSTION PROCESSES

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Nanosize carbon fuel additions were synthesized by the action of an electric discharge on a diesel fuel. Depending on the discharge regime, variously shaped carbon particles, including planar graphitized ones, were formed in the fuel. Ignitability of the produced samples was assessed by the method of initiation of a foamed fuel sample by a lowcurrent electric arc. The modified fuel showed the improvement of the ignition characteristics in the presence of a nanodispersed solid phase.
