Abstract
The paper considers the effect of additives of methane, benzene, and CH3, CH2, and CH radicals on the formation of soot particles during pyrolysis of highly diluted mixtures of acetylene with argon. Direct comparison of the results of detailed kinetic simulations on soot particle formation during pyrolysis of the mixtures of acetylene, benzene, and methane with argon has been performed using the unified kinetic model of soot formation with the results of the authors’ own experiments in a shock tube behind reflected shock waves. The obtained good agreement between the results of kinetic simulations and experimental results was the basis for conducting numerical experiments for highly diluted mixtures at elevated pressures which made it possible both to maintain the concentration of carbon atoms in the mixtures and to minimize the temperature change during pyrolysis and soot particle formation.
