DESIGN EVALUTION AND OPTIMIZATION OF NOZZLE USED IN DIESEL ENGINE FUEL INJECTOR

Abstract

The nozzle is used to convert the chemical thermal energy generated in the combustion chamber into kinetic energy. The nozzle converts the low velocity, high pressure, high temperature gas in the combustion chamber into high velocity gas of lower pressure and temperature. Nozzle is a device designed to control the rate of flow, speed, direction, mass, shape, and/or the pressure of the stream that exhaust from them. Nozzles come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the mission of the rocket, this is very important for the understanding of the performance characteristics of rocket. Convergent divergent nozzle is the most commonly used nozzle since in using it the propellant can be heated in combustion chamber. In this thesis the convergent divergent nozzle changing the different nozzle diameters and different fluids at different velocities. We modeled convergent divergent nozzle changing with different nozzle diameters and Analyzed the convergent divergent nozzle with different mass flow rates to determine the pressure drop, heat transfer coefficient, and velocity and heat transfer rate for the fluid by CFD technique.
