Devices for Fuel-Spray Characterization, Including Soot Formation

For research focused on fuel effects on spray development for DI fuel injectors, the research capabilities include constant pressure and constant flow vessels with extensive optical access. These enable a range of diagnostics related to fuel-spray dynamics, fuel-jet autoignition, combustion and soot formation, and how these processes are affected by the fuel. For measurements of fuel effect on in-nozzle and near-nozzle spray development, x-ray imaging offers unique insights. Read More
