Different Oxygen Levels of Dimethyl Ether Combustion Influence Numerical Simulation

Abstract

AbstractAiming at the dimethyl ether itself with oxygen, this paper simulate that how much less oxygen quantity Dimethyl ether combustion required than liquefied petroleum gas in the same fuel quantity, and obtain optimum normoxia of dimethyl ether desired. This paper simulated dimethyl ether, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) combustion with the air for 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 90% Oxygen levels. Under the different oxygen levels ,the study found that the best oxygen levels dimethyl ether combustion needed is around 30%, and the best oxygen levels liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) combustion needed is around 50%, so that Oxygen levels dimethyl ether needed is less than liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) needed in the same amount of fuel
