Characteristics of Flameless Combustion in 3D Highly Porous Reactors under Diesel Injection Conditions

Figure 9

Comparison of pressure histories for heat release in free volume and in an SiC foam porous reactor (30 ppi) after fuel injection starts at three different initial temperatures 400°C, 500°C, and 600°C, and for three initial pressures = 10 bar, 12 bar and 14 bar. The amount of injected fuel is 23.7 mg: left—complete pressure history; right—initial period of the process limited to 1.5 bar.
