Abstract
This work employs a novel laser induced fluorescence (LIF) diagnostic to measure fuel dilution in a running single cylinder research engine operated at stochastic pre ignition (SPI) and non-SPI prone conditions. Measurements of LIF based fuel dilution are quantified over a range of engine loads and fuel injection timings for two fuels. The in situ LIF measurements of fuel/lubricant interactions illustrate regions of increased fuel dilution from fuel-wall interactions and is believed to be a fundamental underpinning to generating top ring zone liquid conditions conducive to SPI. A novel level of dye doped in the fuel, between 50 to 500 ppm was used as the fluorescence source, at engine operating speed of 2000r/min from 5 to 18 bar of IMEPg injection timings was swept for two fuels of varying volatility. The direct real time LIF measurements highlight that there are non-linear trends in fuel dilution beyond simple dependencies of fuel volatility, injection duration or injection timing, suggesting that further understanding of spray interaction with engine surfaces and the turbulent field are needed to quantify fuel dilution effects that are conducive to SPI. Moreover, results show the potential of this diagnostic technique as an additional tool for quantifying spray and fuel mixing in fundamental studies deployable across a variety of engine loads from law to full load. 1
