Visualization Analysis of Diesel Combustion with Water and Diesel Fuel Emulsified Blend in a Constant Volume Chamber Vessel

Role of water micro-explosion on fuel droplet size distribution, engine performance, and emissions in a water-diesel emulsified engine: A comprehensive numerical investigation

“…Emulsions with finer droplets, on the other hand, not only reduce soot and unburned hydrocarbon emissions by 80% and 35% respectively, but also increase engine efficiency by 20%. In 2015, Ogawa et al 10 performed the experimental test on the fuel injection, and combustion of water-diesel emulsified in constant volume chamber and showed that soot emissions were reduced by up to 35% compared to conventional diesel engines.…”

Experimental investigation on spray, evaporation and combustion characteristics of ethanol-diesel, water-emulsified diesel and neat diesel fuels

“…Integrated natural flame luminosity (INFL) is defined as the sum of flame luminosity values of all pixels in the zone. It qualitatively reveals the soot concentration to some extent during the combustion process[80].Since the fuel heating value has a subtle impact on INFL[81], INFLs of E10, W10 and D100 were corrected by their equivalent heating values in order to quantitatively analyze the combustion characteristics. The INFLs under the same heating value are compared in the following analysis.…”
