Fluidity, Spray and Injection Rate Characteristics of Unstable Water/Gas-Oil Emulsion Fuel (W/O)

If the water/gas-oil-emulsion fuel is to be used in a compression ignition engine, it is necessary not only to carry out directly engine experiment but also to determine the characteristics of so-called mixture formation process, including those of fluidity, spray mode, injection rate and evaporation in high-temperature environment and on high-temperature wall as well as the influence of these characteristics on engine performance.

In this report, the authors have experimentally investigated on the physical properties and injection characteristics of water/gas oil-emulsion fuel (W/O).
