The autoignition characteristics of n-heptane/n-butanol were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The effects of oxygen concentration and exhaust gas recirculation rate on the autoignition characteristics were evaluated. A rapid compression machine was employed to measure ignition delay times of blended fuels. A numerical study on the ignition delay time was performed using the CHEMKIN-PRO software to calculate ignition delay time and predict the chemical species in the combustion process. The results revealed that the ignition delay time increased with decreasing oxygen concentration due to the thermal load effect of nitrogen. The oxidation reaction of n-heptane in a low temperature regime was limited with decreasing oxygen concentration. The ignition delay time sharply decreased with exhaust gas recirculation because of the intermediate species in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gas recirculation reduced first ignition delay dramatically. However, the time interval between the first and main ignition increased with increased exhaust gas recirculation.

매연과 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소의 생성에 대하여 n-헵탄의 혼합의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 순수에틸렌 대향류 확산화염에 n-헵탄을 소량 혼합하여 실험을 수행하였다. 매연체적분율과 PAH의 생성 계측에서는 레이저 유도 형광법 (laser-induced fluorescence; LIF)과 레이저 유도 백열법(laser-induced incandescence; LII)의 레이저 계측법을 이용하였다. 실험결과로 순수 에틸렌 화염에 소량의 n-헵탄을 혼합한 경우에는 매연과 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소가 상승하였다. 그러나 20% n-헵탄 혼합화염의 경우 LIF 신호가 감소하였다. 소량의 혼합화염의 경우, 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소와 매연의 상승은 n-헵탄 혼합에 의해 저온 영역에서의 메틸 라디칼의 증가로 의한다고 사료된다. 10% n-헵탄 혼합화염에 대한 화학반응 프로세스를 살펴본 결과 H 라디칼에 의한 반응율이 벤젠 생성에 결정적인 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In the separation of toluene/n-heptane mixture by the emulsion type liquid membrane in a batch system, the effect of surfactants on the separation factor and membrane stability were studied over the surfactant concentration ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 wt% at the contact time of 5 and 10 minutes and the settling time 5 and 10 minutes. The surfactants used were triethanol amine lauryl sulfate. The separation factor reached its maximum value at the surfactant concentration of 0.5 wt%. It was found that the percentage of membrane breakup reached its minium values and the separation factor showed its maximum value at the surfactant concentration of 0.5 wt%, which confirmed that efficient separation could be effect when emulsion liquid membrane were stable because of low membrane break up.

The surfactant used was sodium lauryl sulfate. The separation factor reached its maximum value at the surfactant concentration of 0.5wt％ for surfantant. It was found that the percentage of membrane breakup reached its minimum values and the separation factor showed its maximum value at the surfactant concentration of 0.5wt%. which confirmed that efficient separation could be effect when emulsion liquid membrane was stable because of low membrane breakup.
