Experimental Characterization of the Liquid Phase Penetration on Evaporating Diesel Sprays

The characterization of the liquid phase penetration on the diesel spray through the combustion chamber is very important to prevent and to reduce the pollution emission on the heavy duty and high speed Diesel engines as well as new combustion chambers design. For this reason, this work has concentrated on the characterisation of the macroscopic behaviour of the liquid phase penetration of diesel spray. The main purpose of this research is to establish a simple statistical correlation to predict the dependence of liquid length on ambient and injection conditions.
