The injection of small amount of diesel fuel relies on the shortening of energizing signal. In such injection conditions, the needle does not reach the mechanical stroke-end and its displacement is defined as ballistic. Some specific experimental work has been performed on how the dynamics of injector needle is reflected on the fuel flow pattern within the nozzle. Due to the intrinsic difficulties of the field, just single axial hole injectors have been optically investigated in real time, by means of the most advanced X-ray techniques. In the current study, based on 3D-computational fluid dynamics modeling, the investigation has been extended to multihole injector layouts, under typical pilot/split injection conditions, namely, high injection pressure and low needle lift. The role of different factors on the flow development within the nozzle has been shown and discussed; the investigations have taken into account actual injector tip layouts and the response to the needle off-axis operating conditions. Results are presented highlighting the flow features within the nozzle and their reflects on the hole-to-hole differences.

The presence of cavitation and turbulence in a diesel injector nozzle has significant effect on the subsequent spray characteristics. However, the mechanism of the cavitating flow and its effect on the subsequent spray is unclear. The initiation, development and collapse of the cavity are strongly influenced not only by the injection pressure and back pressure but also by the nozzle geometry. The numerical simulation of cavitating flow in nozzle holes of a vertical multi-hole injector with mixture multi-phase cavitating flow model was carried out. The effects of sac geometry, hole entrance curvature radius and hole inclination angle on the cavitating flow in nozzle holes were investigated. It is finally concluded that the performance of IMPROVED nozzle is better than that of STD nozzle and VCO nozzle and small inlet turning angle of the orifice can enhance the atomization of the spray.

Flow inside the diesel nozzle is crucial to spray, combustion, and emissions. This work aimed to improve the understanding of effects of internal fuel-flow on diesel spray, especially the special string cavitating flow. Optical experiments were employed for characterizing the formation of string cavitation inside the transparent scaled-up tapered diesel orifices. Simultaneously, the corresponding evolution of spray cone angles were obtained. Results show that there were two origins of the string cavitation, which were originated from inlet and outlet of the orifice, respectively. Moreover, there were two typical development processes of the string cavitation between hole and hole, which were defined as type-A and type-B string cavitation. Furthermore, effects of string cavitation were analyzed: it could trigger the geometry-induced cavitation and make a sharp increase of spray cone angle. Finally, the relationships between the occurrence regularity of string cavitation, the needle lift and the injection pressure were revealed by comparison of different needle lifts and different injection pressures.

Background: The impulse for the propulsion of a rocket engine is obtained from the combustion of propellant mixture inside the combustion chamber and as the plume exhausts through a convergent- divergent nozzle. At stoichiometric ratio, the temperature inside the combustion chamber can be as high as 3500K. Thus, effective cooling of the thrust chamber becomes an essential criterion while designing a rocket engine. Objective: A new cooling method of thrust chambers was introduced by Chiaverni, which is termed as Vortex Combustion Cold-Wall Chamber (VCCW). The patent works on cyclone separators and confined vortex flow mechanism for providing high propellant mixing with improved degree of turbulence inside the combustion chamber, providing the required notion for studies on VCCW. The flow inside a VCCW has a complex structure characterised by axial pressure losses, swirl velocities, centrifugal force, flow reversal and strong turbulence. In order to study the flow phenomenon, both the experimental and numerical investigations are carried out. Methods: In this study, non-reactive flow analysis was conducted with real propellants like gaseous oxygen and hydrogen. The test was conducted to analyse the influence of mixture ratio and injection pressure of the propellants on the chamber pressure in a vortex combustion chamber. A vortex combustor was designed in which the oxidiser injected tangentially at the aft end near the nozzle spiraled up to the top plate and formed an inner core inside the chamber. The fuel was injected radially from injectors provided near the top plate and the propellants were mixed in the inner core. This resulted in enhanced mixing and increased residence time for the fuel. More information on the flow behaviour has been obtained by numerical analysis in Fluent. The test also investigated the sensitivity of the tangential injection pressure on the chamber pressure development. Results: All the test cases showed an increase in chamber pressure with the mixture ratio and injection pressure of the propellants. The maximum chamber pressure was found to be 3.8 bar at PC1 and 2.7 bar at PC2 when oxidiser to fuel ratio was 6.87. There was a reduction in chamber pressure of 1.1 bar and 0.7 bar at PC1 and PC2, respectively, in both the cases when hydrogen was injected. A small variation in the pressure of the propellant injected tangentially made a pronounced effect on the chamber pressure and hence vortex combustion chamber was found to be very sensitive to the tangential injection pressure. Conclusion: VCCW mechanism has been to be found to be very effective for keeping the chamber surface within the permissible limit and also reducing the payload of the space vehicle.

The buzz phenomenon of a typical supersonic inlet is analyzed on the basis of numerical simulations and duct acoustic theory. Considering that the choked inlet could be treated as a duct with one end closed, a one-dimensional (1D) mathematical model based on the duct acoustic theory is proposed to describe the periodic pressure oscillation of the little buzz and the big buzz. The results of the acoustic model agree well with that of the numerical simulations and the experimental data. It could verify that the dominated oscillation patterns of the little buzz and the big buzz are closely related to the first and second resonant mode of the standing wave, respectively. The discrepancies between the numerical simulation and the ideal acoustic model might be attributed to the viscous damping in the fluid oscillation system. In order to explore the damping, a small perturbation jet is introduced to trigger the resonance of the buzz system and the nonlinear amplification effect of resonance might be helpful to estimate the damping. Through the comparison between the linear acoustic model and the nonlinear simulation, the calculated pressure oscillation damping of the little buzz and the big buzz are 0.33 and 0.16, which could be regarded as an estimation of real damping.

Purpose This paper aims to improve the tribological properties of aluminum alloys and reduce their wear rate. Design/methodology/approach Carbon is placed in the model at room temperature, pour 680°C of molten aluminum into the pressure chamber, and then pressed it into the mold containing carbon felt through a die casting machine, and waited for it to cool, which used an injection pressure of 52.8 MPa and held the same pressure for 15 s. Findings The result indicated that the mechanical properties of matrix and composite are similar, and the compressive strength of the composite is only 95% of the matrix alloy. However, the composite showed a low friction coefficient, the friction coefficient of Gr/Al composite is only 0.15, which just is two-third than that of the matrix alloy. Similarly, the wear rate of the composite is less than 4% of the matrix. In addition, the composite can avoid severe wear before 200°C, but the matrix alloy only 100°C. Originality/value This material has excellent friction properties and is able to maintain this excellent performance at high temperatures.
