含酸素物質を混合した際の反応プロセスと微粒子抑制特性(熱工学,内燃機関,動力など)  [in Japanese] The Reaction Process and Particulate-Formation-Inhibition Properties when Oxygenating Agents are Mixed into the Fuel(Thermal Engineering)  [in Japanese]

This research tested hydrocarbon fuels with differing particulate formation mechanisms and oxygenating agents with differing carbon numbers and molecular configurations. In order to find out the relationship between the property of hydrocarbon fuels and the particulate-formation-inhibition properties of oxygenating agents, a fluid reaction tube apparatus was employed to heat the hydrocarbon fuels in order to compare their thermal cracking, condensation polymerization, and the quantity of formed particulate matter. The objective of this experiment was to find a way to optimize the fuel properties by reducing the formation of particulate matter. As a result of this test, we found that the mechanisms for the inhibition of particulate matter formation were different according to the differing hydrocarbon fuels, and also according to the differing properties of oxygenating agents mixed into the fuel.
