Experiments were conducted to propose correlations of fuel spray tip penetration of a direct-injection injector fed with ethanol, butanol, isooctane, gasoline, and associated blends at different injection and ambient pressures. Correlations are proposed that enable predicting spray tip penetration as a function of fuel properties. The main findings are that alcohols offer less penetration than isooctane and gasoline, which have similar behaviour at 295 K. Ambient density played a major role in spray tip penetration, while the boiling temperature and enthalpy of vaporization were important fuel properties under warmer conditions.
