Trade-off between soot and NO emissions during enclosed spray combustion of jet fuel.

ABSTRACT: Aviation emissions of soot and nitrogen oxides are strictly regulated as they adversely impact human health and the environment. Jet fuel combustion conditions that decrease one pollutant concentration increase the other. Although it is not impossible to achieve both low soot and NO_x through clever design, it is hard to simultaneously reduce both. Although it is difficult to study such conditions due to high temperatures and gas flowrates of aircraft engines, recently it was shown that Enclosed Spray Combustion (ESC) of jet fuel results in soot with similar characteristics to that from aircrafts making ESC an attractive unit for studying aviation-like emissions. Furthermore, judicious swirl-injection of air downstream of the ESC burner drastically reduces soot emissions. Here th
