Description

The data presented are numerical investigation of soot formation in five methyl esters. This include methyl linolenate (MLe), methyl stearate (MS), methyl oleate (MO), methyl linoleate (MLi) and methyl palmitate (MP). The study was done in co-flow jet flames. ANSYS software was used to carried out the simulation.

Steps to reproduce

Numerical study of major biodiesel components was carried out in co-flow jet flames. Simulation was done using ANSYS Fluent package which is inbuilt in ANSYS work bench software (version 2022 R1). Chemical kinetic model was based on the FAME mechanism from CRECK modeling group, which has 2904 chemical reactions and 177 species.
