a full scale physical model of a thin slab caster with a four-hole design submerged entry nozzle (sen) was constructed. on the basis of the dimensionless reynolds and froude similitude criteria, the fluid flow in a full-scale model is similar to that of the actual system and, hence, the data obtained from the water model can be applied to the actual system. in order to determine the optimum ope...

Cutting efficiency and quality are very sensitive to gas jet pressure and nozzle standoff distance. Do a high gas pressure and a small standoff distance necessarily give better material removal capability and cutting quality? Simple experiments to measure the mass flow rate were carried out for two types of geometry: a circular hole and a linear cut directly underneath an axisymmetric nozzle. T...

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...

A vast majority of the medium and high speed Diesel engines are equipped with multi-hole injection nozzles nowadays. Inaccuracies in workmanship and changing hydraulic conditions in the nozzles result in differences in injection rates between individual injection nozzle holes. The new deformational measuring method described in the paper allows injection rate measurement in each injection nozzl...

conventional compression ignition (ci) engines are known for their high thermal efficiency compared to spark ignited (si) engines. gasoline because of its higher ignition delay has much lower soot emission in comparison with diesel fuel. using double injection strategy reduces the maximum heat release rate that leads to nox emission reduction. in this paper, a numerical study of a gasoline fuel...

The main task of the engine 3D CFD simulation is to support combustion design development. New combustion concepts (e.g. Low Temperature Combustion, HCCI, multiple injection strategies ...) can be analyzed and predicted by detailed thermo-dynamical computation. To achieve this aim many simulation tools are needed: each of them should be capable of reproducing the sensitivities of combustion des...

air pollution is one of the major issues about the diesel engines in todays' world. it is a special concern in those areas that have difficulty meeting health-based outdoor air quality standards. natural gas has low emission and resource abundance and also conventional compression ignition engine can be easily converted to a dual fuel mode to use natural gas as main fuel and diesel as pilo...

Abstract The high speed, transient cavitating flow distribution inside diesel injector nozzles with consideration of the opening and closing needle valve is calculated using a generalized equation of state (EOS) to describe the fluid density, a homogeneous equilibrium model (HEM) for phase change, and an arbitrary moving mesh to account for needle motion. The KIVA-3V code was modified for the g...

The structure and evolution of cavitation in a transparent scaled-up diesel nozzle having a hole inclined at 90, 85, 80 and 0 degree to the nozzle axis has been investigated using high-speed motion pictures, flash photography and stroboscopic visualization. Observations revealed that at the inception stage, cavitation bubbles were not seen at the same locations in all the four nozzles. Cavitati...

This work consists of studying the effect of needle motion of typical single-hole injectors on spray characteristics. Three-dimensional moving mesh simulations have been carried out to calculate the injection process of cylindrical and conical geometries. The CFD analysis includes a numerical model which simulates the effect of cavitation. Results show that the flow within the nozzle and at the...
