dc.description.abstractThe application of electrical techniques such as electric field, polarization, and ionization in the field of combustion makes many positive developments possible. The electric field effect offers significant advantages in controlling flame stability and reducing soot formation during the combustion of fuels. Also, the conditioning effect can improve particle oxidation during combustion for hydrocarbon fuels containing metal particle inclusions with high calorific value. This study focuses on investigating the combustion and atomization behavior of Fe additive diesel fuel droplets at electric field strengths of E = 5 V/m, E = 6.7 V/m, and E = 10 V/m and in positive (up arrow) and negative (down arrow) electric field directions. The experiments were carried out by igniting a fuel droplet suspended on a ceramic wire with an arc at the center of the electric field between two conductive plates in a combustion chamber with optical apertures. The combustion processes were recorded with an optical system consisting of a high-speed camera and a thermal camera. Combustion and atomization behavior were characterized by sequential flame and droplet atomization images, respectively. The droplet shape change and flame behavior results were comparatively evaluated according to the d2 -law. Ignition delay and extinction times were determined by processing threshold technique and maximum flame temperatures were determined by processing thermal camera images. The results showed that increasing the electric field intensity in the negative electric field direction resulted in improved soot oxidation, and Fe particles burnt efficiently. Ignition delay times showed a decreasing trend with an electric field effect and an increasing trend with the addition of Fe particles. The highest maximum flame temperature and lowest extinction time were recorded as 785 K and similar to 578.34 ms for Diesel/Fe/100(1) fuel droplet, respectively and Fe particles did not exhibit microexplosion phenomena at E = 10 V/m. In this study, it has been shown that an effective oxidation can be achieved for Fe particles by increasing the mobility of ionized species in the flame zone under the effect of electric field and a homogeneous thermal field can be created in the flame zone even in fuels with particle addition at increasing electric field intensities.
