Air Mixing

In the diesel engine, fuel is injected into the hot, compressed air in the combustion chamber. Thus the process of diesel combustion is essentially inhomogeneous, and the mixing of the fuel and air in the combustion chamber dominates the whole combustion process. Since fuel–air mixing is so important the distribution of the injected fuel has a major effect on combustion performance. This is particularly true of direct-injection diesel engines which have relatively low rates of air movement. In all diesel engines, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at high pressure through small nozzles. The high-velocity liquid jet atomizes, after emerging from the nozzle, into a spray of liquid droplets. The penetration, distribution, and vaporization of the sprays, together with the air movement, govern the mixing of fuel and air. The penetration of fuel sprays is dealt with in Part 1 of the paper; Part 2 describes a study of the vaporization of fuel sprays.

Rapid Compression

The development of internal combustion engines involves various new solutions, one of which is the use of dual-fuel systems. The diversity of technological solutions being developed determines the efficiency of such systems, as well as the possibility of reducing the emission of carbon dioxide and exhaust components into the atmosphere. An innovative double direct injection system was used as a method for forming a mixture in the combustion chamber. The tests were carried out with the use of gasoline, ethanol, n-heptane, and n-butanol during combustion in a model test engine—the rapid compression machine (RCM). The analyzed combustion process indicators included the cylinder pressure, pressure increase rate, heat release rate, and heat release value. Optical tests of the combustion process made it possible to analyze the flame development in the observed area of the combustion chamber. The conducted research and analyses resulted in the observation that it is possible to control the excess air ratio in the direct vicinity of the spark plug just before ignition. Such possibilities occur as a result of the properties of the injected fuels, which include different amounts of air required for their stoichiometric combustion. The studies of the combustion process have shown that the combustible mixtures consisting of gasoline with another fuel are characterized by greater combustion efficiency than the mixtures composed of only a single fuel type, and that the influence of the type of fuel used is significant for the combustion process and its indicator values.

The Difference

Comparative experimental studies of fuel sprays evolution dynamics in a constant volume chamber were carried out with a view to reduce the uneven distribution of diesel fuel in the combustion chamber when the Common Rail injector is inclined. The fuel sprays was captured by a high-speed camera with simultaneous recording of control pulses of camera and injector on an oscilloscope. Two eight-hole diesel injectors were investigated: One injector with identical orifice diameter (nozzle 1) and another injector with four orifices of the same diameter as orifices of nozzle 1 and four orifices of enlarged diameters (nozzle 2). Both injectors were tested at rail pressure from 100 to 165 MPa and injector control pulse width of 1.5 ms. The dynamics of changes in the spray penetration length and spray cone angle were determined. It was found that sprays develop differently in nozzle 1 fuel. The difference in the length of fuel sprays is 10–15 mm. As for nozzle 2, the fuel sprays develop more evenly: The difference in length is no more than 3–5 mm. The difference of the measured fuel spray cone angles for nozzle 1 is 0.5°–1.5°, and for nozzle 2 is 3.0°–4.0°. It is concluded that the differential increase in the diameters of nozzle orifices, the axes of which are maximally deviated from the injector axis, makes it possible to reduce the uneven distribution of fuel in the combustion chamber and improve the combustion process and the diesel performance as a whole.

Rate Of Heat Release

The pilot injection strategy is a widely used approach for reducing the noise of the combustion process in direct injection diesel engines. In the last generation of automotive diesel engines up to several pilot injections could occur to better control the rate of heat release (ROHR) in the cylinder as well as the pollutant formation. However, determination of the timing and duration for each pilot injection needs to be precisely optimised. In this paper an experimental study of the pilot injection strategy was conducted on a direct injection diesel engine. Single and double pilot injection strategy was studied. The engine rated power is 100 kW at 4000 rpm while the rated torque is 320 Nm at 2000 rpm. An engine operating point determined by the rotation speed of 1400 rpm and torque of 100 Nm was chosen. The pilot and pre-injection timing was widely varied in order to study the influence on the combustion process as well as on the fuel consumption.

Direct Injection Diesel Engine

Effects of combustion chamber geometry and initial mixture distribution on the combustion process were investigated in a direct-injection diesel engine. In the engine experiment, a high squish combustion chamber with a squish lip could reduce both NOx and particulate emissions with retarded injection timing. According to the results of CFD computation and phenomenological modeling, the high squish combustion chamber with a central pip is effective to keep the combusting mixture under the squish lip until the end of combustion and the combustion region forms rich and highly turbulent atmosphere. This kind of mixture distribution tends to reduce initial burning, resulting in restraint of NOx emission while keeping low particulate emission.

The object of the study was a six-cylinder in-line engine for land transport system with direct gasoline supply and forced ignition. The problem of shaping the combustion chamber is solved using the numerical control volumes method in a three-dimensional formulation. Nonstationary equations of energy, motion, diffusion and continuity in the Reynolds form, supplemented by the k-ζ-f model of turbulence, are used as a basis for modelling the engine operation. To model fuel combustion, an extended coherent flame model (ECFM) was used. Calculations were performed using the AVL FIRE software. The processes of mixture formation were optimized by considering the current lines and velocity fields of a moving charge, taking into account the geometry of the combustion chamber and intake and exhaust ports. As a result, the efficiency of the engine increased and the combustion process became more stable in the part load modes employing different fuel supply laws.

Our approach is to define as accurately as possible, the opportunities of forecasting the environmental and energetically qualities of direct injection Diesel engines for stationary and industrial applications. This research requires the validation of new energy solutions or injection process. Knowing that test bench research of internal combustion engines is a task that requires highly qualified personnel and very expensive equipment for investigate the combustion process, a research program to define the best technical solution involves significant costs. The energetically solution of an internal combustion engine, similar to those examined in this paper, is defined by the following guidelines and parameters: - Control of mixture formation; - Compression ratio; - Average swirl intake number channel; - Geometry of the intake and exhaust cams; - Diagram of distribution; - Drive cam type injection pump; - Geometry of the combustion chamber; - Type and nozzle geometry (sack configuration and l / d ratio ); - Needle stroke; - The diameter and length of the injection pipe; - Amount of injector opening pressure (for hydraulic injectors); - Type of delivery valve; - Time of injection. Based on experience gained during the test at the test bed, we proposed a criterion for assessing qualitative performance of Diesel class discussed above. This criterion refers to environmental and energetically performance, as a prediction of performance at nominal regime, after shorten tests with cold engine.
