Viscosity of biodiesel is another important characteristic of biodiesel; it affects the atomization of fuel upon injection into the combustion chamber.
Lower viscosity of CNSBD and hexanol blend aids better atomization of fuel droplets and generates higher dispersion rate leading to improved combustion rate (lower ignition delay) and thereby reducing the temperature in the combustion chamber (Sundar and Saravanan 2011; De Poures et al. 2017).
Two-phase detonation generating is harder than gaseous detonation due to liquid fuel atomization and mixing of two-phase reactants.
One critical link in the optimization process is the design and performance of the injectors used for fuel atomization.
The quality of liquid fuel atomization highly affects the formation of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter emissions from combustion processes.
Analysis of the DSHC experimental data suggested that flash boiling influences the atomization of liquid fuel in the DSHC burner.
In this paper ultrasonic fuel atomization is investigated as an alternative to traditional fuel systems which are highly coupled and complex.
This study demonstrates low-emission combustion of diesel, biodiesel and straight vegetable oil (VO) in a fuel-flexible combustor employing a flow blurring (FB) injector for fuel atomization.
Diesel engine performance and emissions are strongly coupled with fuel atomization and spray processes, which in turn are strongly influenced by injector flow dynamics.
