dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the electrocombustion and atomization behavior of single droplets (2.5 wt.% Fe) of ethanol (EtOH) and methanol (MeOH) fuels at the droplet scale. The experiments utilize a system with two opposing plate electrodes of varying distances (200, 150, and 100 mm) and both negative (down arrow) and positive (up arrow) polarizations within a vertical direct current (DC) electric field. The results show that for EtOH and EtOH/Fe droplets, the flame envelope changes to a spherical form at (down arrow) and (up arrow) polarizations at 100 mm plate spacing, while for MeOH and MeOH/Fe droplets, the flame envelope changes to a spherical form at (down arrow) and (up arrow) polarizations at 200, 150 and 100 mm plate spacing. Increasing electric field strength reduced the micro-explosion tendency of Fe particles in the flame region and the micro-explosion intensity of Fe particles was found to be higher in ethanol droplets than in methanol. No systematic relationship could be established between the electric field effect and the presence of Fe particles. The MeOH/Fe/150(up arrow) droplet exhibited the lowest extinction time of 1050 ms. The electric field fundamentally alters the secondary atomization process of the fuel droplets. Notably, the diameter regression of all MeOH-based fuel droplets deviates significantly from a linear relationship. The investigation into the combustion behavior of pure EtOH, MeOH, and their Fe-blended counterparts within an electric field environment suggests that MeOH and MeOH/Fe fuels exhibit superior combustion characteristics. However, further research is necessary to fully elucidate these findings.
