To help understand the complex fuel spray combustion phenomena in modern diesel engine using high injection pressure, a fuel injection test bench and a constant volume combustion chamber were developed and demonstrated in this study for diesel spray diagnostics. Both facilities are significant when linking between spray injection and combustion dynamics and engine performance. This link is impo...

Fuel injection is systems for supplying high pressurize fuel to maximum mixing of fuel with air in an internal combustion engine. Direct Injection (DI) Systems as used in DI engines, in which the fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber formed in the clylinder itself. The fuel injector directly injects fuel into the direct fuel injection system. The injector is a very complicated par...

in order to present a new and high performance structure of pem fuel cell and study the influence of the flow direction and distribution on the rate of reactants diffusion, three novel models of vertical reactant flow injection into the anode and cathode reaction area field have been introduced. they consist of one inlet and two inlets and also a continuous channel. the governing equations on t...

Automotive Systems A u to m o tive Sstem s Th e fuel pressure control system (FPCS) was developed to comply with increasingly strict fuel-effi ciency and emissions regulations by improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. It controls the discharge fl ow rate of the fuel pump and fuel injection pressure in accordance with engine operating conditions. Past fuel supply systems have operated th...

A computer controlled direct gasoline fuel injection (DGI) system has been modeled, programmed and constructed for a four-stroke SI engine. Locally available materials have been used for this experimental model. All the old model vehicle were equipped with carburetor for air fuel mixing and later on electronic fuel injection system has been introduced for maintaining better air fuel ratio and m...

oxides of nitrogen are the major emission from a diesel engine. it is due to heterogeneous diffusion combustion system with fuel-rich regions, which produce high local temperature around the periphery of the spray where high formation rate of no is promoted. various techniques are therefore employed to reduce the nox emission like egr, scr, etc. in this present work a rotating injector is a tec...

Dimethyl Ether (DME) has been attracting attention as an alternative fuel for diesel engines because it can be produced from various feed stocks and does not create smoke. On the other hand, a DME truck require a large volume fuel tank in order to obtain the running distance equivalent to diesel trucks due to the lower energy content per unit volume of DME, and un-burned gas and fuel consumptio...

the spray characteristics of the fuel greatly influence emissions from diesel engines. spray development plays a vital role in improving the combustion and emission characteristics of fuel because it directly affects the air- fuel mixture formation. the spray characteristics of fuel mainly depend on fuel injection process, fuel density, fuel viscosity, ambient pressure and temperature. among th...
