Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program focuses on modeling the vaporization liquid drops and the penetration of the liquid phase in Diesel sprays under cold-start conditions. This work is carried out within the framework of multidimensional modeling of the physical processes in Diesel engines. In the prior reporting period, it was shown that though vaporization of the drops under warm operating conditions may be mixing controlled whereby the drop vaporization characteristic time is much shorter than the mixing time, the vaporization rate under cold-start conditions may not be assumed to be mixing controlled. Hence, drop size effects have to be considered under cold-start conditions. In this work, a drop vaporization model under high pressure conditions is included within the context of a locally homogeneous flow assumption.

It is shown that simplified droplet vaporization models that do not solve temperature gradients or flow within the droplet and do not solve gradients in temperature or species in the immediate surrounding of the droplet are able to reproduce droplet vaporization rates and droplet lifetime with about 15% accuracy compared to detailed models for typical Diesel operating conditions. Under high temperature (> 1200 K) conditions the differences begin to increase. However, it is also shown that under such conditions as well as at even lower temperatures (> 900 K) the vaporization process is mixing limited i.e., the droplet lifetime is not controlling but rather the characteristic time for mixing of ambient air with the vapor phase the liquid, vapor and air are in phase equilibrium. It is shown that droplets are not likely to react the critical state under typical engine conditions. With application to multidimensional spray models as focus, a new model for predicting the outcome of drop collisions has been developed. Such models are important because they predict the drop sizes in the spray following atomization.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The utilization of mathematical models to numerically describe the performance of internal combustion engines is of great significance in the development of new and improved engines. Today, such simulation models can already be viewed as standard tools, and their importance is likely to increase further as available com puter power is expected to increase and the predictive quality of the models is constantly enhanced. This book describes and discusses the most widely used mathematical models for in-cylinder spray and combustion processes, which are the most important subprocesses affecting engine fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The relevant thermodynamic, fluid dynamic and chemical principles are summarized, and then the application of these principles to the in-cylinder processes is ex plained. Different modeling approaches for the each subprocesses are compared and discussed with respect to the governing model assumptions and simplifica tions. Conclusions are drawn as to which model approach is appropriate for a specific type of problem in the development process of an engine. Hence, this book may serve both as a graduate level textbook for combustion engineering stu dents and as a reference for professionals employed in the field of combustion en gine modeling. The research necessary for this book was carried out during my employment as a postdoctoral scientist at the Institute of Technical Combustion (ITV) at the Uni versity of Hannover, Germany and at the Engine Research Center (ERC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.

This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A three-dimensional computer code (KIVA) is being modified to include state-of-the-art submodels for diesel engine flow and combustion: spray atomization, drop breakup/coalescence, multi-component fuel vaporization, spray/wall interaction, ignition and combustion, wall heat transfer, unburned HC and NOx formation, soot and radiation, and the intake flow process. Improved and/or new submodels which were completed are: wall heat transfer with unsteadiness and compressibility, laminar-turbulent characteristic time combustion with unburned HC and Zeldo'vich NOx, and spray/wall impingement with rebounding and sliding drops. Results to date show that adding the effects of unsteadiness and compressibility improves the accuracy of heat transfer predictions; spray drop rebound can occur from walls at low impingement velocities (e.g., in cold-starting); larger spray drops are formed at the nozzle due to the influence of vaporization on the atomization process; a laminar-and-turbulent characteristic time combustion model has the flexibility to match measured engine combustion data over a wide range of operating conditions; and finally, the characteristic time combustion model can also be extended to allow predictions of ignition. The accuracy of the predictions is being assessed by comparisons with available measurements. Additional supporting experiments are also described briefly. To date, comparisons with measured engine cylinder pressure and heat flux data were made for homogeneous charge, spark-ignited and compression-ignited engines. The model results are in good agreement with the experiments. Reitz, R. D. and Rutland, C. J. Unspecified Center...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this study is to develop/improve physical models for large-eddy simulations of Diesel sprays. The stochastic Kelvin-Helmholtz/Rayleigh-Taylor (KH-RT) atomization and breakup model, the synthetic eddy injection model, the droplet rotation model, and the sub-grid scale (SGS) dispersion model were developed and tested. Using the classical KH-RT model, it was found that simulation results are sensitive to several model parameters such as length and time scales of instability waves. The idea of the stochastic KH-RT model is to determine these parameters stochastically and dynamically. This is an attempt to reduce the sensitivity of the model parameters partly resulting from the incapability of predicting breakup mechanisms other than wave instabilities in the classical KH-RT model. The synthetic eddy injection model predicts fluctuations of the Lagrangian parcel initial velocity. The model attempts to simulate turbulence at the nozzle exit without the need of internal nozzle flow simulations, by superimposing a number of virtual coherent structures. The performance of these two newly developed models was compared to the original ones, namely the classical KH-RT and the cone angle injection models. Two experimental databases, the Engine Combustion Network (ECN) constant-volume sprays and the Engine Research Center optical engine sprays were used to validate the models. A number of simulated quantities such as liquid projected mass density, liquid and vapor penetrations, fuel vapor profiles, ignition delays, and lift-off lengths, were compared against the data. The stochastic KH-RT model improved the prediction of the projected mass density downstream and liquid penetrations in a range of operating conditions (errors within 5 %) without tuning the model constants case by case. The synthetic eddy injection model improved the prediction of vapor penetrations at early stage of injection since the development of instability modes and turbulent transport in the near-nozzle region were better resolved. The model also shows less grid sensitivity. Overall, using these two new models overcomes some limitations in the original models and makes LES as a more predictive tool for Diesel sprays. The droplet rotation model considers droplet force and torque due to relative rotational motions between droplets and gas. Simulation results of the ECN non-vaporizing and vaporizing sprays with and without using the rotation model were compared. It was found that the droplet rotation has negligible effect. This is because the droplet response time scale to the rotational motion is much smaller than that to the translational motion. That is, slip angular velocity approaches to zero much faster, resulting in much smaller rotational force than the drag force. The SGS dispersion model considers the effect of sub-grid motions on Diesel spray dispersion. The model assumes that the SGS dispersion velocity is decomposed into the deterministic and the stochastic parts. The deterministic part is modeled by the approximate deconvolution method and the stochastic part is assumed to be isotropic and Gaussian distributed. It was found that the two model parameters, variance of the Gaussian distribution and turbulence correlation time, have a critical effect on the spatial distribution of droplets with small inertia downstream of the spray. Larger variance or longer turbulence correlation time predicts wider liquid spray angle. However, they have small effect on predicting resolved gas-phase statistics. The primary reason for this is that the motion of high-momentum liquid blobs in the near-nozzle region leading to air entrainment and subsequent gas jet development is little influenced by the SGS dispersion. Moving further downstream a quasi-equilibrium is established between the two phases, resulting in relatively small slip velocities. Therefore, it was found that the spray momentum source term in the gas momentum equation is much smaller than the other terms in the downstream region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustion of Liquid Fuel Sprays outlines the fundamentals of the combustion of sprays in a unified way which may be applied to any technological application. The book begins with a discussion of the general nature of spray combustion, the sources of liquid fuels used in spray combustion, biomass sources of liquid fuels, and the nature and properties of fuel oils. Subsequent chapters focus on the properties of sprays, the atomization of liquid fuels, and the theoretical modeling of the behavior of a spray flame in a combustion chamber. The nature and control of pollutants from spray combustion, the formation of deposits in oil-fired systems, and the combustion of sprays in furnaces and engines are elucidated as well. The text is intended for students undertaking courses or research in fuel, combustion, and energy studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively discusses diesel combustion phenomena like ignition delay, fuel-air mixing, rate of heat release, and emissions of smoke, particulate and nitric oxide. It enables quantitative evaluation of these important phenomena and parameters. Most importantly, it attempts to model them with constants that are independent of engine types and hence they could be applied by the engineers and researchers for a general engine. This book emphasizes the importance of the spray at the wall in precisely describing the heat release and emissions for most of the engines on and off-road. It gives models for heat release and emissions. Every model is thoroughly validated by detailed experiments using a broad range of engines. The book describes an elegant quasi-one-dimensional model for heat release in diesel engines with single as well as multiple injections. The book describes how the two aspects, namely, fuel injection rate and the diameter of the combustion bowl in the piston, have enabled meeting advanced emission, noise, and performance standards. The book also discusses the topics of computational fluid dynamics encompassing RANS and LES models of turbulence. Given the contents, this book will be useful for students, researchers and professionals working in the area of vehicle engineering and engine technology. This book will also be a good professional book for practising engineers in the field of combustion engines and automotive engineering.
