The effects of swirl and injection parameters on diesel combustion and heat transfer

Book ·
OSTI ID:5852412

A single cylinder TACOM-LABECO open chamber diesel engine with a special research head, which incorporates an American Bosch Electronic Fuel Injection System, was used to study the effects of air swirl, injection pressure and nozzle geometry on exhaust particulates, NO/subx emissions, ignition delay, heat release and local heat flux measured at two positions on the head. Air swirl was varied from 0.8 to 4.5 swirl ratio by use of a shrouded intake valve. Peak injection pressure was varied from 35-114 MPa. Five different nozzle geometries were tested. All data were taken at a fixed engine operating condition of 2000 rpm and 0.5 equivalence ratio with an inlet pressure of 1.5 atm and nominal inlet temperature of 340/sup 0/K.
