Abstract
The physicochemical properties of fuels are critical determinants of the in-cylinder processes, overall performance, and emission characteristics of internal combustion engines. The distinctive characteristics of various fuels during atomization, evaporation, oil–gas mixing, ignition, and combustion phases play a decisive role in determining the combustion efficiency, thermal efficiency, and formation of pollutants. This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of the physical and chemical properties of five distinct fuels, focusing on their interactions with the injection parameters. This investigation delineates the influence of these properties on the spray breakup dynamics and subsequent combustion processes. Results demonstrate that while the fuels exhibit varying sensitivities to injection parameters, optimal combustion performance is consistently achieved when the injection timing is set at 22° Before the Top Dead Center(BTDC), the nozzle orifice diameter is 0.32 mm, and the beam angle is maintained at 160°. This analysis provides novel insights into the complex coupling effects of fuel properties and injection strategies on in-cylinder processes, thereby contributing to the design and development of high-efficiency, low-emission internal combustion engines.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
