Abstract:The soot emission during fuel pyrolysis is harmful to
the human
health, environment, and engine fuel efficiency. In this work, the
effect of methanol addition on soot inhibition of n-decane pyrolysis was investigated both theoretically and experimentally.
Thermal cracking and coking experiments of n-decane
show that the coke mass decreases significantly with methanol addition.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that the oxidative radicals
(OH, HCO, and CH2OH) from the methanol additive will oxidize
