Abstract: Abstract. Accurate prediction of the ignition-assistance device's thermomechanical response during fuel spray impingement is essential for understanding ignition reliability in aviation compression-ignition engines. This ...

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: 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, ...

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: Abstract. To enable robust ignition of heavy fuels and the operation of compression-ignition (CI) engines at altitude, the use of ignition-assistant (IA) devices, such as glow plugs, is essential. However, this requires ...
