Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have developed the measurement device of the bio-fuel concentration in the blended fuel using mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy. In addition to that, the chemical kinetic model for estimation of the ignitability of the bio-blended fuel has been developed. The spectra of the representative hydrocarbons included in the bio-blended fuel were obtained using a Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and the appropriate absorption band for quantitative measurements of the bio-fuel was selected.The chemical kinetic model for the estimation of the ignition characteristics of 2-methylfuran- and 2,5-dimethylfuran-blended fuel was constructed, because there are no chemical kinetic models for the furan derivative blended fuel, which are the new bio-fuel.These measurement device and chemical kinetic model are useful for the precise engine control when the unknown bio-fuel blends are used.
