Abstract
Currently, substances are being actively sought that could serve as the alternative fuel or fuel additive reducing formation and emission of the carbon nanoparticles. Here, processes of the polyaromatic hydrocarbons (precursors of the carbon condensed phase formation) and carbon black nanoparticles formation during the ethylene pyrolysis with addition of the tetrahydrofuran were studied by laser-induced fluorescence and laser extinction methods. Spectral dependences of laser-induced fluorescence of the polyaromatic hydrocarbons were obtained by laser-induced fluorescence at various temperatures and pyrolysis stages, and optical density of the reacting gas mixtures at wavelengths of 405 and 633 nm was obtained by laser extinction. Measurements were carried out on a shock tube behind the reflected shock waves in the temperature range of 1,695--2,500 K and pressure range of 2.7--4.1 atm. It is shown that during the ethylene pyrolysis with the tetrahydrofuran addition soot formation process is intensifying, and the temperature range of the carbon nanoparticles formation is expanding. Using the kinetic simulation, it was found that acceleration in the carbon nanoparticles formation was caused by formation of methyl radical and propylene in the tetrahydrofuran pyrolysis
