[EN] This last few years, the trend in diesel engines has been to use different kinds of fuels to identify their influence and behaviour on the emissions and performance. Among the wide variety of fuels employed are the ...

[ES] El presente trabajo determina las diferencias que existen en un chorro de combustible en condiciones de evaporación en ausencia de oxígeno al modificar el inyector, presión de inyección, presión de cámara de combustión, ...

Development and mixing of Diesel sprays are long known to be key factors for combustion and pollutant emissions but the related measurements in a real engine is not an easy task. This fact led researchers to simulate ...

[EN] Featured Application This work contributes to the understanding of the macroscopic characteristics of the spray as well as to the evolution of the combustion process for alternative fuels. All these fuels have been ...

Measurements of the maximum liquid-phase penetration have been performed injecting five different fuels through a single-hole nozzle in an optical engine under a large set of thermodynamic and injection conditions. The ...

Although biodiesel has begun to penetrate the fuel market, its effect on injection processes, combustion and emission formation under diesel engine conditions remains somewhat unclear. Typical exhaust measurements from ...

A state of the art prototype common rail injector featuring direct control of the needle by means of a piezo stack (direct acting) has been tested. Liquid phase penetration of the sprays in diesel engine-like conditions ...
