Combustion Processes of Particulate Matter and Soot in Ceramic Filter Traps for Diesel Engines and Numerical Modelling

A particulate aggregate model which takes place during the incomplete combustion of Diesel¹ fuel in heavy duty engines is presented. An approximate analytical solution for the temperature field in a filter ceramic porous wall is presented. An alternative approach covering essential engineering problems is presented by means of a numerical simulation, which shows safety operational features of the proposed scheme. Some predicted performance of the filter ceramic traps are also presented.
