Experimental study of wall-impinging diesel spray ignition and combustion characteristics under critical conditions

Dongfang Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that spray penetration length, cone angle, spread radius, and vapor-phase floatation height were not sensitive to ambient temperature, but liquid-phase floatation height decreased with increasing ambient temperature. Ignition delay time decreased with increasing ambient temperature, and ignition positions were near the wall surface and away from the nozzle axis. Additionally, the distance between ignition position and nozzle axis, as well as the distance between ignition position and wall, decreased with increasing ambient temperature.

Yifeng Wang et al.

Summary: Engine experiments were conducted to study the impact of early injection on smoke emissions and performance, and the influence of EGR, intake pressure, fuel properties and injection strategy on soot emissions at early timings was assessed.

Numerical study on the wall-impinging diesel spray mixture formation, ignition, and combustion characteristics in the cylinder under cold-start conditions of a diesel engine

Dongfang Wang et al.

Summary: The combustion of wall-impinging diesel spray, which is influenced by limited in-cylinder space, is a common phenomenon in small and medium-sized diesel engines under cold-start conditions. Through quantitative analysis of mixture formation, ignition, and combustion characteristics, it was found that the diesel spray is guided by the piston surface and limited in-cylinder space, resulting in high-temperature ignition in the region between the two spray paths. During cold-start, high-temperature ignition occurs in the region between the two spray paths at different injection timings. The flame propagates from the higher equivalence ratio region near the piston surface to the lower equivalence ratio region in the center of the combustion chamber. Early injection timing leads to a leaner mixture and a longer transition period from low-temperature to high-temperature reactions, limiting the ability to control high-temperature ignition and thermal power conversion. The optimal injection timing during cold-start was found to be -13 degrees CA ATDC for the diesel engine in this study.

An investigation of the effect of plateau environment on the soot generation and oxidation in diesel engines

Chunhua Zhang et al.

Summary: The plateau environment has a negative impact on the combustion quality and control of soot emissions in heavy-duty diesel engines. This study developed a multidimensional CFD model to investigate the effect of altitude on soot formation and oxidation processes. The findings showed that high-altitude operation led to increased soot formation but decreased oxidation due to the mismatch between fuel and air. Additionally, fuel droplet impingement on the cylinder wall resulted in a sharp rise in soot emissions above 3000 meters.

Experimental study on combustion and emission characteristics of diesel engine with high supercharged condition

Decan Zhu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the combustion and emission processes of a diesel engine at different intake pressures. The results showed that as the intake pressure increased, the combustion process shifted towards diffusion and post-combustion stages, resulting in a decrease in power increment. Furthermore, a decrease in excess air coefficient led to an increase in the proportion of heat release in the post-combustion stage, but a decrease in thermal efficiency and an increase in fuel consumption rate.

Numerical study of wall-impinging ignition at different wall distances for cold start of heavy-duty diesel engine

Yaqing Bo et al.

Summary: This study systematically analyzes the effects of the distance between the cold wall and spray nozzle on the spray and ignition characteristics of diesel engines. The results showed that the cold wall has little influence on ignition when the wall distance is larger, but delays chemical reactions and causes misfires when the wall distance is smaller. Varying wall distance also changes the timing of local fuel cooling, resulting in different effects.

Properties and oxidation of in-cylinder soot associated with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in diesel engines

Wei Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the properties and oxidation of in-cylinder soot from a diesel engine fueled with n-heptane under simulated exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) conditions. It was found that EGR addition enhances the mass-based specific rate of soot oxidation, but reduces flame temperature and concentrations of O-2 and OH, leading to decreased soot surface oxidation rates. Additionally, the characterization of soot properties showed that EGR decreases structural ordering and results in the formation of more oxygenated and aliphatic C-H groups on the soot surface, favoring soot oxidation during combustion processes.

A comparative study of isobaric combustion and conventional diesel combustion in both metal and optical engines

Gustav Nyrenstedt et al.

Summary: This study compared the performance and emissions of isobaric combustion and conventional diesel combustion, finding that isobaric combustion resulted in higher soot emissions due to locally fuel-rich mixtures and less fuel-air mixing. Additionally, late fuel injections led to more combustion in certain areas, increasing local temperature gradients and potentially resulting in more heat losses. Multiple injectors are recommended to reduce soot emissions in isobaric combustion by spreading injections in space.
