Matching of Fuel Injection Equipment to Diesel Engines

  • Conference paper
Aerothermodynamics in Combustors

Abstract

This paper describes the development and validation of two computer models developed for the matching of fuel injection equipment to diesel engines. Both models included mathematical representation of fuel atomisation and ignition delay together with a simple simulation model of engine cycle. The effect of fuel quality was taken into account on a qualitative basis while empirical relationships were employed for the prediction of ignition delay under various operating conditions.
