Abstract | Spray characteristics are among the most important factors that affect compression ignition (CI) engines’ performance and emission levels. Flow visualisation and optical diagnostics have been widely employed in previous and current research as methods for controlling the combustion processes. This paper investigates the spray visualisation of butanol-diesel blends to determine spray characteristics such as spray penetration (S) and Average Sauter Mean Diameter (ASMD) using Ansys Forte under different ambient pressures and temperatures. The spray results showed that the spray penetration length is decreased as a result of the increased ambient pressure, while it is increased as a result of increased injection pressure of all test fuels. An increase in ambient temperature caused pure diesel penetration to become longer and wider, while butanol-diesel blends penetration becomes shorter. The ASMD of the butanol-diesel blend is higher than that of pure diesel at all operating conditions. |
