However, the practical applications in explosives and propellants of boron have been limited by long ignition delay time and low combustion efficiency. Herein, nano-Al and graphene fluoride(GF) as surface activated materials are employed to coat boron(B) particles to improve ignition and combustion performance. The reaction heat of nano-Al coated B/KNO_(3)and GF coated B/KNO_(3)are 1116.83 J/g and 862.69 J/g, respectively, which are higher than that of pure B/KNO_(3)(823.39 J/g). The ignition delay time of B/KNO_(3)could be reduced through nano-Al coating. The shortest ignition delay time is only 75 ms for B coated with nano-Al of 8 wt%, which is much shorter than that of pure B/KNO_(3)(109 ms). However, the ignition delay time of B/KNOcoated with GF has been increased from 109 to 187 ms. B coated with GF and nano-Al shown significantly influence on the pressure output and flame structure of B/KNO_(3). Furthermore, the effects of B/O ratios on the pressure output and ignition delay time have been further fully studied. For B/KNO_(3)coated with nano-Al and GF, the highest pressures are 88 KPa and 59 KPa for B/O ratio of 4:6, and the minimum ignition delay time are 94 ms and 148 ms for B/O ratio of 7:3. Based on the above results, the reaction process of boron coated with GF and nano-Al has been proposed to understand combustion mechanism.展开更多

One of the cylinders is modified for HCCI combustion with mixed additives. The influence of mixed additives on the HCCI combustion process is investigated. The experimental results indicate that the mixed additives are better than the single additives for HCCI fuel, causing ignition and heat release to be advanced and the peak of heat release rate to increase under the condition of different engine speeds and steady HCCI combustion. Moreover, with the increase in engine speed, the influence of mixed additives on HCCI combustion is more obvious. In addition, the mixed additives are beneficial to improve HCCI engine misfire at a high engine speed and make the engine operate stable.展开更多
