Impact of Ignition Assistant on Combustion of Cetane 30 and 35 Jet-Fuel Blends in a Compression-Ignition Engine at Moderate Load and Speed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigates the use of a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) ceramic glow-plug to assist ignition of jet fuel blends with cetane numbers of 30 and 35, below the minimum cetane number of 40 for #2 diesel. Experiments ...
Numerical Modeling and Analysis of Energy-Assisted Compression Ignition of Varying Cetane Number Jet Fuels for High-Altitude Operation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed to study the potential of energy-assisted compression ignition (EACI) strategy for enabling ignition and enhancing combustion of different cetane number jet fuels ...
Control of Combustion Phasing Using Accelerometer-Based Non-Intrusive Sensing1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measuring the combustion phasing of an engine using in-cylinder pressure sensors is well established. However, pressure sensors need to be directly exposed to the in-cylinder environment, requiring changes to the cylinder ...
Influence of Elevated Fuel Temperatures on the Spray Characteristics of Gasoline—Ethanol Blends
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the effect of elevated fuel temperatures on the spray characteristics of gasoline—ethanol blends was studied in an optically accessible constant volume spray and combustion vessel. MAHLE SmartHeat® is a fuel ...
