Hydrogen, diesel fuel, hydrogen dissolution, physical properties of a diesel fuel-hydrogen mixture. INTRODUCTION. Hydrogen is one of the most prospective environmentally friendly sources of energy, thermal energy. Burning hyd rogen or fuel-hydrogen mixtures (FHM) redu ces emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), car- bon hydride (CH) and particulate matter. Wide limits of hydrogen flammability make it possible to organize high-quality control of the power of an internal combustion engine (ICE), as well as to increase the efficiency of an internal combus- tion engine at partial loads. When burning lean mixtures of hydrogen with air, it is possible to radically reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) without significant material costs [1–3]. In this case, the concentration of hydrogen in the air in front of the cylinders of the inter- nal combustion engine should be significantly less than 4% to avoid the risk of detonation in the cylinders of the internal combustion en- gine [5–6]. The reactionary effect of a small amount of hydrogen in the fuel-air mixture significantly RESEARCH OF THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF DIESEL FUEL-HYDROGEN MIXTURES 46 ISSN 2708-129X. Укр. хім. журн., 2021 PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY affects the completeness of fuel combustion and the number of emissions of toxic substan ces (CO, NOx, etc.) [7, 8]. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a significant con- stituent of fuel gases. For example, in the ex- haust gases of vehicles, the amount of CO2 va ries from 22 to 43%, depending on the compo- sition of the fuel. It is possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by switching to hydrogen fuel or hydrogen-rich fuel. Emissions of СО2 and toxic gases (except NOх) can be practically reduced to zero [9]. An important aspect of using hydrogen as a fuel (or its additives to fuel) is the safety of equipment operation. Hydrogen-fueled equip- ment should be equipped with H2 detectors [10]. These detectors should give an alarm when the hydrogen concentration in the air is 1%. This value is one-fourth of the lower flam- mability limit of hydrogen. The indicated va lue of the hydrogen concentration in the air in front of the cylinders of an internal com- bustion engine is rather difficult to ensure. It is easier to meet this requirement upon preli minary saturation of liquid fuel with hydrogen [11, 12]. However, in any case, it is necessary to equip fuel enrichment systems with hydrogen and mobile H2 sensors operating in the con- centration range of up to 1%.The safety of the internal combustion engine depends on the physical properties of fuel-hydrogen mixtures. Also, the structural design of the system for the formation and supply of a fuel-hydrogen mixture to heat generating equipment largely depends on the physical properties of this mix- ture [13]. The inputting of hydrogen into the fuel changes the physical parameters of the latter. And when the physical parameters of the fuel change, the initial conditions for determining the ICE safety criteria change [14]. When hyd rogen is added to the fuel such indicators as the velocity of flame-front propagation, the detonation conditions of the composite fuels; octane number [15] change also are changed. These indicators can be assessed based on data on the viscosity of fuel-hydrogen mixtures, the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in fuel, etc. Fuel viscosity significantly affects fuel ato mization [16]. The dispersion of fuel droplets when atomized determines the kinetics of fuel combustion. The literature lacks data on the ef- fect of dissolved hydrogen on the viscosity of fuel-hydrogen mixtures. In addition, the struc- tural design of the fuel saturation system with hydrogen significantly depends on the rate of dissolution of H2 in the fuel. Analysis of the data [17, 18] has shown that the time to an equilibrium state in the liquid hydrogen fuel system could reach several hours. But the data [17, 18] are not sufficient to determine the ki- netics of hydrogen solubility in fuel. The aim of this work was the determina- tion of: – the change in the viscosity of diesel fuel when hydrogen dissolves in it; – the rate of dissolution of hydrogen in die- sel fuel; – the hydrogen diffusion coefficient in die- sel fuel. EXPERIMENT AND DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS. Materials. Diesel fuel ac- counts for more than 50% of all fuel con- sumed in the world. Diesel fuel combustion products are highly toxic [7, 8]. Diesel and hydrogen mixtures are less toxic than pure diesel. Therefore, it is advisable to consider physical properties of a diesel fuel-hydrogen mixture as a factor in reducing the toxicity of combustion products. L.I. Leybovych, B.V. Dymo, S.N. Anastasenko Y.V. Yevstigneyev 47https://ucj.org.ua UCJ № 9 / Vol. 87 The solubility of hydrogen in liquid fuels depends on temperature and pressure during saturation [19–21]. From the standpoint of reliability, the process of fuel saturation with hydrogen is expedient to be carried out at at- mospheric pressure. Therefore, experiments on the solubility of hydrogen in diesel fuel were carried out at atmospheric pressure in the tem- perature range from 25 to 50 °C according to the method described in scientific publications [22, 23]. In experimental studies, diesel fuel was used with the following characteristics at 25 °C: density − 845 kg / m3; viscosity − 1 cSt; flashpoint in an open crucible − 91 ° C; in a closed crucible − 69 ° C. The studies have been carried out on the ex- perimental research stand (Fig. 1). Fig. 1.

The operation principle of the stand. Fuel is poured into the fuel tank (9) so that there is no free air volume in it. The amount of fuel poured in is 1200 ± 5 ml. The tank has a heater (10) and a viscometer (11) built-in to maintain the fuel temperature at a given level. The fuel circu- lates in the system using a centrifugal pump (6). Hydrogen is dosed to the system discretely by 10 ± 0.1 ml using a hydrogen dispenser (5). The completion of the process of fuel saturation with hydrogen was determined by the time of disso- lution of the last dose in a volume of 10 ± 0.1 ml using a temperature sensor (7). The viscosity of the fuel is measured using a viscometer (11). The viscosity of diesel fuel and FHM based on diesel fuel was investigated on a Can- non-Fenske routine capillary viscometer with the following technical data: viscosity measu rement range – 0.4 …2 cSt; nominal constant – 0,002. The flash point of the fuel-hydrogen mix- ture was determined on a PE-TVO apparatus, the operation of which is based on the Bren- ken principle, and allows the measurement of the flash point in accordance with American standards ASTM D92. RESEARCH OF THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF DIESEL FUEL-HYDROGEN MIXTURES 48 ISSN 2708-129X. Укр. хім. журн., 2021 PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY The safety system for hydrogen generation and dosing was tested simultaneously with studies of the physical properties of a diesel fuel-hydrogen mixture. Hydrogen leaks were monitored by an MQ-8 sensor connected to the Arduino NANO V3.0 CH340G platform designed based on the Atmega328P micro- controller. Such an assembly of the sensor and controller makes it possible to use it both in the stand safety system and in researching hydro- gen desorption from the mixture. The general view of the control system is shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2. H2 concentration control sensor.

(2) T – the temperature of the fuel-hydrogen mixture, оС; νdh (T) – the viscosity of hydro- gen-saturated diesel fuel, cSt. The increasing fuel viscosity is associated with the formation of weak bonds between fuel molecules and dissolved H2.

With the same hydrogen concentration in diesel fuel, the flashpoint de- creased by an average of 3 ... 4 °C. However, it should be noted that in a closed crucible, at a temperature of about 60 ° C, short-term flashes could appear periodically. Dissolution rate of hydrogen in diesel fuel. The results of determining the rate of hydrogen dissolution in diesel fuel are shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 5.  The dependence of the rate of dissolution of hydrogen in diesel fuel on the concentration of hydrogen and the temperature of the H2 dissolution;  1 – temperature 28±1 °C; 2 – 48 ± 1 °C. The data analysis (Fig. 5.) has shown that: – with an increase in temperature, the rate of dis- solution of hydrogen in diesel fuel decreases; – the rate of dissolution of hydrogen in diesel fuel depends on the concentration of H2 in the This dependence manifests itself at low temperatures to a greater extent than at high temperatures. The viscosity of hydrogen-saturated diesel fuel in the temperature range 15 ÷ 95 ° C could be determined by the following regression dependence (2). 𝑏𝑏0 = 1,45; 𝑏𝑏1 = −0,02; 𝑏𝑏2 = 1,648 ∙ 10−4; 𝑏𝑏3 = 0,96; 𝑏𝑏4 = −2,2 ∙ 10−3. 𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣ℎ(𝑇𝑇) = | 𝑏𝑏0 + 𝑏𝑏1 ∙ 𝑇𝑇 + 𝑏𝑏2 ∙ 𝑇𝑇2 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 10 ≤ 𝑇𝑇 ≤ 60 𝑏𝑏3 + 𝑏𝑏4 ∙ 𝑇𝑇 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 60 ≤ 𝑇𝑇 ≤ 95 (2) T – the temperature of the fuel-hydrogen mixture, оС; νdh (T) – the viscosity of hydrogen- saturated diesel fuel, cSt. The increasing fuel viscosity is associated with the formation of weak bonds between fuel molecules and dissolved H2.

Experimental studies have shown that preheating diesel fuel to a temperature of 50 ° C and a subsequent decrease in the process temperature to 32 ° C due to cooling leads to an increase in the rate of hydrogen dissolution. At a temperature of the process of dissolution of hydrogen in diesel fuel of 32 ° C, the rate of dissolution of H2 is on average 1.25 times lower than for temperatures in the range 48–50 ° C. Fig. 5.

Diffusion of hydrogen in a FHM based on diesel fuel. The diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in diesel fuel was determined by the method [25, 26]. The pressure of the medium in the container for the experiments was 753 ± 1 mm Hg, the temperature was 25 ± 1 ° C. The diffusion coefficient was determined as a functional dependence on the volume of the absorbed gas V, the gas concentration in the liquid Ch of the determining size l, and the time τ of absorption of the volume by the liquid 𝐷𝐷ℎ = 𝑓𝑓(𝑉𝑉, 𝐶𝐶ℎ, 𝑙𝑙, τ) Moreover, the diffusion coefficient is inversely proportional to the value of the gas concentration in the liquid.

The rate of dissolution of hydrogen significantly depends on the concentration of hydrogen in the fuel. In the saturated state, the diffusion coefficients of hydrogen in diesel fuel are close to Dh = 1x10-9 m2/s.

Героїв Сталінграду, 9, Миколаїв 4025, Україна E-mail: recycle.lev@gmail.com Використання паливно-водневих сумі- шей в теплових машинах покращує процеси горіння палива. Також знижуються викиди в атмосферу токсичних продуктів із димо- вими газами. З огляду на безпечну роботу теплової машини доцільним є подавання в неї рідкого палива, насиченого воднем. Це зумовлено тим, що коефіцієнт дифузії вод- ню в рідинах значно нижчий, ніж у газах. У цьому випадку ймовірність утворення вибухонебезпечних концентрацій водню в повітрі значно менша, ніж при подаванні повітряно-водневих сумішей. Розчинення водню в рідкому паливі змінює його фізич- ні властивості. В літературі недостатньо даних щодо впливу розчиненого водню на в’язкість паливно-водневих сумішей. Крім цього, конструктивне виконання системи насичення палива воднем істотно залежить від швидкості розчинення H2 в паливі. Ме- тою цієї роботи було експериментальне ви- значення зміни в’язкості дизельного пали- ва при розчиненні в ньому водню; швидко- сті розчинення водню в дизельному паливі, коефіцієнта дифузії водню в дизельному паливі. Розроблено спеціальний стенд для дослідження процесів розчинення водню в рідкому паливі. Стенд обладнано спеці- альним сенсором водню на основі датчика «MQ-8», що убезпечує виконання експе- риментального дослідження. У  результаті експериментальних досліджень встановле- но, що в’язкість і щільність дизельного па- лива мало змінюється при насиченні його воднем. Температура спалаху в закритому тиглі знижується на 3…4 оС. Досліджено швидкість розчинення водню в дизельно- му паливі. Встановлено, що коефіцієнт ди- фузії водню в дизельному паливі істотно залежить від початкової концентрації Н2 L.I. Leybovych, B.V. Dymo, S.N. Anastasenko Y.V.

Захист забезпечує відключення обладнан- ня стенду при концентрації водню в зоні його генерування і подавання в паливо на рівні 1%.

The change in the viscosity of diesel fuel with dissolved hydrogen, the rate of dissolution of hydrogen in the diesel fuel, and the hydrogen diffusion coefficient in diesel fuel were experimentally determined. Dissolving hydrogen in liquid fuel changes its physical-chemical properties. It has been found that the viscosity and density of diesel fuel change little when it is saturated with hydrogen. The flashpoint in a closed crucible is reduced by 3–4 °C. The rate of dissolution of hydrogen in diesel fuel has been investigated. It has been found that the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in diesel fuel depends significantly on the initial concentration of H2 in the fuel. The liquid fuel is advisable to supply with saturated hydrogen for the safety of the heat engine operation. The design of the hydrogen fuel saturation system with a special hydrogen sensor based on the MQ-8 sensor was proposed. The system of protection of the research stand from unauthorized emissions of hydrogen into the environment has been worked out. The protection ensures the shutdown of the stand equipment when the hydrogen concentration in the zone of its generation and supply to the fuel is at the level of 1%.
