| contents | Compared with traditional fuels, emulsified fuels can improve fuel atomization and combustion, and nanoparticles as additives have the potential to enhance combustion and reduce emissions. Previous studies on micro-explosion mainly considered emulsion droplets, but the role of nanoparticles in emulsion droplets is still unclear. In this study, we experimentally investigate the micro-explosion of emulsion droplets with nanoparticles via high-speed photography, digital image processing, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the presence of nanoparticles can greatly improve the strength and probability of micro-explosion, particularly for carbon nanoparticles. This is mainly because nanoparticles can agglomerate during the evaporation of emulsion droplets, facilitate the absorption of radiation energy, inhibit the diffusion of superheated vapor, and ultimately promote micro-explosion. The effects of nanoparticle mass fraction and water content are also investigated, and the results show that the increase of nanoparticles and water can facilitate micro-explosion. |
