Abstract

To achieve further improvement of thermal efficiency and exhaust emissions in compression ignition engines, the authors propose a control technique of spatial-temporal spray and combustion processes by use of dual component fuels. In order to ensure the feasibility of this approach, the present study evaluates spray characteristics of dual component fuels and examines the feasibility of this proposal by use of a multicomponent spray model which had been developed by the authors and incorporated into KIVA-3V. Four dual component fuels exhibiting a range of volatility were used to evaluate the accuracy of this model and to understand the effects of vapor-liquid equilibrium behavior of dual component fuel on vapor distribution region of each component. Furthermore, the vapor distribution characteristics were investigated, simulating several crank angle conditions of a compression ignition engine.
