Diesel Spray: Development of Spray in Diesel Engine

Abstract

Research and development in the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been growing progressively. Issues such as air pollution, fuel cost, and market competitiveness have driven the automotive industry to develop and manufacture automobiles that meet new regulation and customers’ needs. The diesel engine has some advantages over the gasoline or spark ignition engine, including higher engine efficiency, greater power output, as well as reliability. Since the early stage of the diesel engine’s development phase, the quest to obtain better atomization, proper fuel supply, and accurate timing control, have triggered numerous innovations. In the last two decades, owing to the development of optical technology, the visualization of spray atomization has been made possible using visual diagnostics techniques. This advancement has greatly improved research in spray evolution. Yet, a more comprehensive understanding related to these aspects has not yet been agreed upon. Diesel spray, in particular, is considered a complicated phenomenon to observe because of its high-speed, high pressure, as well as its high temperature working condition. Nevertheless, several mechanisms have been successfully explained using fundamental studies, providing several suggestions in the area, such as liquid atomization and two-phase spray flow. There are still many aspects that have not yet been agreed upon. This paper comprehensively reviews the current status of theoretical diesel spray and modelling, including some important numerical and experimental aspects.

Effect of Lateral Airflow on Initial HSI and Flame Behavior of Marine Fuel in a Ship Engine Room: Experiment and Analysis

“…A very thin gas-phase interface is formed between the marine diesel and the hot surface, and the mode of heat transfer from the hot surface to liquid starts to change. Marine diesel is mainly composed of C 12 ~C23 alkane, which belongs to a multi-component mixture [45,46]. When the marine diesel leaks and comes into contact with the hot surface at a time lapse of 3000.0 ms, a large amount of white smoke and mixtures are produced.…”
