Abstract
Experiments were conducted on a naturally aspirated modified diesel engine to investigate the effect of diesel/methanol compound combustion on combustion characteristics, smoke opacity, particulate mass emission, soluble organic fraction(SOF)in the particulate as well as particulate number emission and size distribution. Oxidation behavior of particulate was also investigated. Results show that diesel/methanol compound combustion decreases the smoke opacity, particulate mass emission and number emission but increases SOF in the particulate. After catalytic oxidation, smoke opacity, particulate mass emission and number emission and SOF in the particulate further decrease while the geometric mean diameter(GMD) of particulate slightly increases.
