Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the effects of using water / diesel emulsion fuel in an indirect injection diesel engine on the heat flux crossing liner and cylinder head, thermal loading and metal temperature distribution. A single cylinder precombustion chamber diesel engine has been used in the present work. The engine was instrumented for performance, metal temperature and heat flux measurements. The pure gas oil fuel and different ratios of water / diesel emulsion were used and their effects on the heat flux level and the injector tip temperature are studied. Two correlation were found for the heat flux crossing the liner and the cylinder head at various water / diesel emulsion ratios, fuelling rate and thermocouple probe locations. It was found that the addition of water to diesel fuel, to control the nitrogen oxides emissions, has great influence on reducing die heat flux, the metal temperatures and thermal loading of combustion chamber components.

Conjugate heat transfer analysis was conducted on a 648 hole film cooled turbine vane using Code Leo and compared to experimental results obtained at the Air Force Research Laboratory Turbine Research Facility. An unstructured mesh with fully resolved film holes for both fluid and solid domains was used to conduct the conjugate heat transfer simulation on a desktop PC with eight cores. Initial heat flux and surface metal temperature predictions showed reasonable agreement with heat flux measurements but under prediction of surface metal temperature values. Root cause analysis was performed, leading to two refinements. First, a thermal barrier coating layer was introduced into the analysis to account for the insulating properties of the Kapton layer used for the heat flux gauges. Second, inlet boundary conditions were updated to more accurately reflect rig measurement conditions. The resulting surface metal temperature predictions showed excellent agreement relative to measured results (+/− 5 degrees K).

Inlet Flow Rate

Experiments of the valve bridge are carried out and the boiling states are investigated, to study the boiling heat transfer in cylinder head jacket. The effects of inlet flow rate and temperature on boiling heat flux are analyzed, as well as the thickness of fire deck. The results show that the inlet velocity has little effect on the velocity in valve bridge zone, even the velocity in the valve bridge zone can strongly affect on boiling heat transfer. The results can offer references to practical application in power-enhanced diesel engine.

Local Heat Flux

Transient surface heat flux measurements were performed at several locations on the cylinder head of a divided-chamber diesel engine. The local heat flux histories were found to be significantly different. These differences are attributed to the spatial nonuniformity of the fluid motion and combustion. Both local time-averaged and local peak heat fluxes decreased with decreasing speed and load. Retarding the combustion timing beyond TDC decreased the peak heat flux in the antechamber but increased the peak heat flux in the main chamber. This is attributed to the relative increase in the portion of fuel that burns in the main chamber with retarded combustion timing.

Surface temperature measurements were performed in a large bore two-stroke diesel engine used for ship propulsion. A specially designed fast-response surface thermocouple was used together with an embedded standard K-type thermocouple to measure surface temperature and heat flux with high temporal resolution. Heat flux calculations were carried out both analytically and numerically showing good agreement between the results. Measurements were carried out at three different engine load conditions (25%, 30% and 50% load) in one of the fuel atomizers in the cylinder head. Cyclic surface temperature variations of up to approximately 80 K with a peak temperature of 860 K were observed. The magnitude of the perturbation of the temperature field due to the presence of the thermocouples was investigated by three dimensional CFD simulations.
