Study on the Particulate Microstructure of Different Oxygenated Fuels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructures of particulates fueled with ethanol/diesel, DMC/diesel, and biodiesel/diesel blends were studied using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of oxygenated fuels on the microstructures of particulates were studied. The results showed that the particulates presented with chain and group like structures. The particulate size was approximately following the normal distribution. With the increase of oxygenated fuels blends ratios, the extent of agglomeration increased and the structure arrangement became closer.
