The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

The details of the chemical and physical mechanisms of the soot formation process in
combustion remain uncertain due to the highly complex nature of hydrocarbon flames, and …

Considering liquid fuels from a variety of feedstocks and refinement processes, evaporating
sprays of various fuels are investigated in a constant-volume chamber at ambient and …

The number of studies on spray and combustion characteristics in IC (internal combustion)
engines using optical techniques has rapidly increased in the past few years due to an …

Spray characteristics are among the most important factors affecting compression ignition
(CI) engine performance and emission levels. Fuel flow visualisation and optical diagnostics …

Spray formation from diesel fuel injection through a realistic heavy-duty multi-hole common
rail injector is studied in a newly developed high pressure, high temperature cell, using …

The spray characteristics play a crucial role in determining the performance and emissions
of compression ignition (CI) engines at the pre-combustion stage. With the advent of many …

This paper first compares strengths and weaknesses of different options for performing
optical diagnostics on HD diesel sprays. Then, practical experiences are described with the …

The period of diesel fuel spray injection from the start of injection up to 0.5 ms is investigated
using ultra-high speed digital imaging. Contrary to the widely accepted idea of tip …

We have conducted experimental measurements to estimate the liquid penetration length of
a diesel fuel jet injected into an inert environment. We analyzed the effects of the …
