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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
