Air Mixing

This paper is pertinent mainly to combustion in open-chamber diesel engines employing air swirl. It is shown how an increase in air swirl rate can cause a marked loss of combustion efficiency unless fuel spray penetration is increased. High swirl reduces radial fuel spray penetration with central injection and the resulting excess fuel in the central area may be trapped by buoyancy forces following ignition, becoming isolated for as much as a tenth of a second in a chamber of four in. diameter. A brief explanation of fuel injection in terms of the mechanics of fluid jets is given and circumstances described in which buoyancy forces assist fuel-air mixing following ignition.

The Media

Interest is growing in the benefits of homogeneous charge compression ignition engines. In this paper, we investigate a novel approach to the development of a homogenous charge-like environment through the use of porous media. The primary purpose of the media is to enhance the spread as well as the evaporation process of the high pressure fuel spray to achieve charge homogenization. In this paper, we show through high speed visualizations of both cold and hot spray events, how porous media interactions can give rise to greater fuel air mixing and what role system pressure and temperature plays in further enhancing this process.

Spray Velocity

A detailed investigation of the effect of the shape of an open combustion chamber for diesel engine on the air velocity pattern, and consequently, on the trajectory of the fuel spray is given in this paper. A theoretical model for the calculation of the spray penetration, taking into consideration the heat transfer to the droplet, the variation of the drag force with Reynolds number, and air velocity pattern, is suggested. The effect of some working conditions on the spray shape, trajectory, and penetration is experimentally studied to verify the theoretical model and to correlate the results of using different medium pressures, initial spray velocity, and injection angle on the magnitude of fuel spray diameter and spray volume.

High Pressure Common Rail

The fuel spray images were taken with an equipment (camera-flash-injection) which has been synchronized with a purpose made electronic system under the condition of the high pressure common rail in two injection pressure has been expressed in this paper. It is discovered when fitting spray tip penetration that after jet breakup for a period of time, the spray tip begin to slow down rapidly, and the speed of spray tip running becomes smooth. Hiroyasu and other traditional tip penetration fitting formula are fitting larger to this phase. This is because that after jet breakup, the secondary breakup of striker particles will occur under the influence of the aerodynamic, surface tension and viscosity force. Therefore, a spray penetration fitting formula containing secondary breakup time to fit penetration in three sections was proposed in this paper. Results show that when pressure difference increase, both first and second breakup time become earlier. The former is because of gas-liquid relative velocity increasing, while the latter is due to high speed interface movement acceleration increasing.
