Abstract: Development of a stable and efficient small-scale combustor architecture with comparable performance emission characteristics to large-scale burners is presented. Furthermore, the proposed architecture reduced susceptibility ...

Abstract: The cetane number (CN) is an important fuel property to consider for compression ignition engines as it is a measure of a fuel's ignition delay. Derived cetane number (DCN) already varies significantly within jet fuels. ...

Abstract: Airborne compression ignition engines must operate with reliable ignition systems to achieve proper ignition at every cycle, particularly at high altitudes. Glow-plug-based ignition-assistant (IA) devices can provide the ...

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, interactions of fuel droplets and heated walls can significantly affect the combustion process and engine performance. The formation and characteristics of secondary droplets from drop-wall ...

Abstract: The interaction of a droplet with a solid wall is relevant in various engineering applications. The properties of the resulting secondary droplets are determined by the wall temperature, ambient pressure, impact momentum, ...
