TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the measured spray structure and droplet size distributions of ethanol-gasoline blends for a low-pressure, multi-hole, port fuel injector (PFI).
49 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a new phenomenon of spray bifurcation is observed for low Gas to Liquid Ratio (GLR) cases, which can be attributed to the presence of large ligaments and droplets in the near nozzle region for low GLRs.
42 citations
TL;DR: Non-Newtonian behavior of Jatropha and Pongamia oil is shown to be the reason for observed spray structure and SVO sprays are found to be poorly atomized and intact liquid cores are observed even at an injection pressure of 1600 bar.
35 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a spray from an airblast atomizer is injected into a preheated crossflow of air and the resulting spray is characterized in terms of spray structure along with droplet size and velocity.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fuel properties and composition on NO x emissions from biodiesel fuelled engines is reviewed and some general conclusions concerning this problem are summarised and further researches are pointed out.
Abstract: Biodiesel has proved to be an environment friendly alternative fuel for diesel engine because it can alleviate regulated and unregulated exhaust emissions. However, most researchers have observed a significant increase in NO x emissions with biodiesel when compared to petrodiesel. The exact cause of this increase is still unclear; however, researchers believe that the fuel properties have been shown to effect the emissions of NO x . The present work reviews the effect of fuel properties and composition on NO x emissions from biodiesel fuelled engines. The paper is organised in three sections. The first section deals with the NO x formation mechanisms. In the following section, the reasons for increased NO x emissions of biodiesel fuel are discussed. After this, the influence of composition and fuel properties on NO x emissions from biodiesel fuelled engines has been reviewed. Finally, some general conclusions concerning this problem are summarised and further researches are pointed out.

TL;DR: In this paper, a trilateral analysis of spray characteristics, combustion, and emissions of a high-speed four-stroke diesel engine running on Jatropha oil (JO) in two cases of preheated and unpreheated in comparison to diesel fuel was investigated and carried out.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of oil fatty acid composition on combustion and emissions was investigated on a modern direct injection compression ignition engine supplied with a range of straight vegetable oils, including corn, groundnut, palm, rapeseed, soybean, sunflower and micro-algae species Chlorella protothecoides.

TL;DR: In this article, a negatively-pressured spraying collector was developed for the dust source of advancing support in fully mechanized coal mining environments based on the results obtained from the numerical simulation of wind-dust diffusion law under the action of dust collector using discrete particle model of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in order to reduce dust from advancing support.
