Comparison of Mixture and Multifluid Models for In Nozzle Cavitation Prediction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fuel injectors often feature cavitation because of large pressure gradients, which in some regions lead to extremely low pressures. The main objective of this work is to compare the prediction capabilities of two multiphase ...
Performance and Emission Investigations of Jatropha and Karanja Biodiesels in a Single Cylinder Compression Ignition Engine Using Endoscopic Imaging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biofuels produced from nonedible sources that are cultivated on marginal lands represent a viable source of renewable and carbonneutral energy. In this context, biodiesel obtained from Jatropha and Karanja oil seeds have ...
Development of an Efficient Conjugate Heat Transfer Modeling Framework to Optimize Mixing-Limited Combustion of Ethanol in a Diesel Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mixing controlled combustion of alcohol fuels has been identified as a promising technology based on their low propensity for particulate and NOx production, but the higher heats of vaporization and auto-ignition temperatures ...
Assessment of Turbulent Combustion Models for Simulating Prechamber Ignition in a Natural Gas Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lean combustion is a promising strategy to increase thermal efficiency in an internal combustion engine, by exploiting a favorable specific heat ratio of the fresh mixture while simultaneously suppressing the heat losses ...
