A new approach to soot control in diesel engines by fuel-drop charging
Creators
Abstract
Particulate formation is greatly enchanced by the nondiluteness of a diesel spray because it is responsible for the creation of a fuel-rich vapor that accumulates without burning and instead undergoes complex chemical reactions [1, 2] which, combined with nucleation processes, [2-4] form soot. Since premixing was found to eliminate soot [1], it is clearly desirable to burn the nondilute spray injected in a diesel engine cylinder in a dilute configuration.
