G0610303 Characteristics of PM formed by metal mesh quenching of a laminar diffusion flame with Benzene

Abstract

Nanometer size particulate matter (PM) has harmful effects on human health. PM characteristics such as size and compositions were required to develop reduction technologies for reduction of combustion origin PM. In this study, characteristics of PM emission from quenched flame of benzene fuel were measured by a combustion type PM analyzer (MEXA-1370PM). In addition, oxidation temperature of PM and its density were also measured by a TGA (Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer) and a Hydrometer. From these results, it was confirmed that PM emitted from quenched flame included SOF with high mass concentration.
