“…First, the effects of injection rate shaping on the combustion and emissions characteristics are investigated. Injection rate shaping provides appropriate mixing conditions of fuel and air for increased efficiency and emissions reduction while injection pressure and duration are maintained [42][43][44]. Figure 8 shows the simulation result of combustion and emissions characteristics when implementing injection rate shaping and the varying the opening rate of the injector needle to change the injection rate.…”

Abstract:The multiple injection strategy has been widely used in diesel engines to reduce engine noise, NO x and soot formation. Fuel injection developments such as the common-rail and piezo-actuator system provide more precise control of the injection quantity and time under higher injection pressures. As various injection strategies become accessible, it is important to understand the interaction of each fuel stream and following combustion process under the multiple injection strategy. To investigate these complex processes quantitatively, numerical analysis using CFD is a good alternative to overcome the limitation of experiments. A modified 2-D flamelet model is further developed from previous work to model multi-fuel streams with higher accuracy. The model was validated under various engine operating conditions and captures the combustion and emissions characteristics as well as several parametric variations. The model is expected to be used to suggest advanced injection strategies in engine development processes.

“…Depending on the combustion strategy and engine demand, tuning the rate shape profile to yield a slower initial rate can reduce heat release rate and ultimately reduce NOx emissions [10]. "Boot-like" injection rate shapes have been shown to reduce NOx as well [11]. However, when short combustion times are required, a square rate shape represented as the 100% rate shape in Figure 12, can be achieved [9].…”

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTESReprinted from ABSTRACTJP-8 sprays from a hydraulically actuated electronically controlled unit injector (HEUI) and a common rail injector (CRIN) were investigated to compare the effects of the fuel delivery system on the spray behavior of the fuel. The fuel pressurization method between injectors is fundamentally different. The HEUI system utilizes engine oil to pressurize the fuel, whereas, the CRIN system pressurizes the fuel directly. To explore the different injection methods, rate of injection (ROI) experiments were initially conducted to measure shot-to-shot fuel quantity and rate of injection of both injector types. During the ROI experiments with the HEUI, the oil temperature and pressure was varied from 45°C to 90°C and 142-200 bar, respectively. In addition, the dwell time and rate shape of the HEUI was investigated to determine effects on injected fuel mass and rate of injection. Non-reacting spray experiments were performed in a high temperature (900 K), high pressure (60 bar) flow chamber to investigate the transient liquid penetration lengths of both injection systems. Ambient conditions of the flow chamber were chosen to represent typical conditions found in a compression-ignition engine and fuel injection pressures were 850, 1000, and 1200 bar. Results showed that an increase in oil temperature for the HEUI will increase the injected fuel mass. The CRIN injector system showed 4 times more precise control of injected fuel mass compared to the HEUI, and the CRIN showed less variations in the hydraulic delay. Comparing the plume to plume transient spray behavior of the two systems showed that more variations were present with the HEUI injector. However, the overall transient liquid penetration behavior was similar for both injection systems. Results of this study can be used to optimize the design of engines using JP-8 with hydraulic fuel injectors, thus improving fuel efficiency and power output. SUBJECT TERMSHEUI, JP-8, in...
