Abstract
This paper describes a computer simulation of diesel spray formation and the locations of self-ignition nuclei. The spray is divided into small elementary volumes, in which the amounts of fuel, fuel vapors, and air and mean, maximum, and minimum fuel droplet diameters are calculated, as well as their number. The total air/fuel and air/fuel-vapor ratios are calculated for each elementary volume. The paper introduces a new criterion for determining self-ignition nuclei based on assumptions that the strongest self-ignition probability lies in those elementary volumes containing the stoichiometric air ratio, where the fuel is evaporated or the fuel droplet diameter is equal to or lower than 0.0065 mm. The most efficient combustion with regard to consumption and emission will be in those elementary volumes containing the stoichiometric air ratio and fuel droplets with the lowest mean diameters. Measurements of injection and combustion were carried out in a transparent research engine. This engine is a single-c...
