Popis:	Motor vehicle emissions have been identified as a major source of particulates, and have been associated with adverse health effects and decreased ambient air quality. Recent published studies have shown that Fischer−Tropsch fuels can reduce particulate emissions. The fuel composition, temperature, and pressure affect the kinetics of a chemical reaction and ultimately the yield of end products. To see how the above factors impact the particulate yields, D-2 diesel and two Fischer−Tropsch fuels, Shell MDS and Mossgas COD, were investigated in this study over a pressure range of 5 to 24 atm and temperature range of 1000 to 2300 °C. All experiments were conducted in a modified single-pulse reflected shock tube. Fuels were injected using a high-pressure liquid injector. The results from Leco carbon analysis indicated that for most test conditions, Shell MDS had the lowest particulate yield compared to D-2 diesel followed by Mossgas COD. At relatively low temperatures (∼1150 °C) and high temperatures (∼2250 °C...
