This research systematically studied the effect of injection pressure on macroscopic spray characteristics of a five-hole gasoline direct injection (GDI) injector fueled with ethanol, especially under ultra-high injection pressure up to 50 MPa. The front and side views of sprays were photographed by the schlieren method using a high-speed camera. Various parameters, including spray development stages, cone angle, penetration, area and irregular ratio, were fully analyzed to evaluate macroscopic characteristics of the whole spray and spray core with varying injection pressure. The results demonstrated that the effect of ultra-high injection pressure on macroscopic spray characteristics was significant. As injection pressure increased from 10 MPa to 50 MPa, the occurrence time of branch-like structure decreased; the cone angle increased little; the area increased significantly; the area ratio dropped by 6.4 and 5.8 percentage points on average for the front view and side view spray, respectively. There was a significant increase in the trend for penetration as the injection pressure rose from 10 MPa to 30 MPa. However, this trend became weak when the injection pressure further increased. The penetration ratio under ultra-high injection pressure was slightly higher than it was under 10 or 20 MPa. Ultra-high injection pressure would not obviously raise the possibility of spray/wall impingement, but led to the impingement quantity increasing to some extent. Increasing injection pressure could enhance the vortex scale, finally resulting in better air/fuel mixing quality. Ultra-high injection pressure was a potential way to improve air/fuel mixture homogeneity for a GDI injector fueled with ethanol.

Acoustic noise emitted by a diesel engine generally exceeds that produced by its spark-ignited equivalent and may hinder the acceptance of this more efficient engine type in the passenger car market (1). This work characterizes the combustion noise from a single-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine and examines the degree to which it may be minimized by optimal choice of injection parameters. The relative contribution of motoring, combustion and resonance components to overall engine noise are determined by decomposition of in-cylinder pressure traces over a range of load, injection pressure and start of injection. The frequency spectra of microphone signals recorded external to the engine are correlated with those of in-cylinder pressure traces. Short Time Fourier Transformation (STFT) is applied to cylinder pressure traces to reveal the occurrence of motoring, combustion noise and resonance in the frequency domain over the course of the engine cycle. Loudness is found to increase with enhanced resonance, in proportion to the rate of cylinder pressure rise and under conditions of high injection pressure, load and advanced injection timing.
