In this study, a pre-combustion plasma jet igniter was designed, and its characteristics were examined from three aspects: the morphology, temperature, and discharge characteristics and process of ignition. Images of the OH distribution were obtained by using an OH Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence(OH-PLIF) experimental system. Results have shown that the proposed plasma jet had a higher OH concentration, longer length, and larger area than those of a traditional igniter. The stability of discharge of the igniter was improved as the equivalence ratio φ was increased, and reducing gas flow reduced the pulsation of the plasma jet. When the input current was increased from 15A to 35 A, the highest average temperature increased from 5127 K to 7987 K. An increase in the equivalence ratio reduced the region of arc ionization, but expanded the regions of the core combustion reaction and the outer flame. Herein, this study has obtained a deep understanding of the jet and ignition law and developed a new idea for the application of plasma in the ignition field.A pre-combustion plasma jet igniter can significantly improve the efficiency of ignition and shorten the ignition process compared with a traditional igniter.展开更多

Eicosane with a melting peak at 40.8℃ is used as the capsule core of the MEPCM particle. Five kinds of array-hole nozzles with the same hole cross-sectional area are employed to analyze the influence of critical parameters, including the nozzle hole number, hole spacing, impinging distance, and jet temperature. It shows that a 5% suspension may improve the heat transfer coefficient of the array jet by up to 23.5% compared with water. The heat transfer of an array jet is obviously stronger than that of a single jet, but too much hole number is not conducive because of the entrainment interference between adjacent jets. A larger hole spacing or smaller impinging distance may weaken the crossflow accumulation on the impinged surface, thus enhancing the heat transfer capability. The heat transfer coefficient of the array jet presents a secondary peak value at the end of the jet-core region. The latent heat absorption of the capsule core results in superior heat transfer of the suspension compared to that of water only in a specific range of jet temperatures, the optimum of which is approximately 10℃ lower relative to the peak melting temperature. In addition, the melt completion time of a single MEPCM particle and the critical flow rate of the suspension are predicted theoretically.展开更多
