An Analysis Of The Fuel-Air Mixture Distribution Within A Cylinder Of A Direct Injection Diesel Engine
Abstract
The validity of simple equations for the penetration of diesel fuel sprays in engine cylinders was investigated. Several forms of these simple equations obtained from the Literature were compared to engine data, both with and without the effects of air swirl. From this comparison, a particular equation was selected as the best representative, and was then used to illustrate the prediction of penetration for an actual engine.
Results of the study show that the simple models based on the gas jet theory are particularly suitable for large bore, quiescent engines and give penetration data to within 15% accuracy.
