Abstract
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Optical studies of combusting diesel sprays were done on three different alternative liquid fuels and compared to Swedish environmental class 1 diesel fuel (MK1). The alternative fuels were Rapeseed Oil Methyl Ester (RME), Palm Oil Methyl Ester (PME) and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) fuel.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The studies were carried out in the Chalmers High Pressure High Temperature spray rig under conditions similar to those prevailing in a direct-injected diesel engine prior to injection. High speed shadowgraphs were acquired to measure the penetration of the continuous liquid phase, droplets and ligaments, and vapor penetration. Flame temperatures and relative soot concentrations were measured by emission based, line-of-sight, optical methods. A comparison between previous engine tests and spray rig experiments was conducted in order to provide a deeper explanation of the combustion phenomena in the engine tests.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Results pertaining to spray behavior show that high viscosity fuels have wider spray cone angles, smaller discharge coefficients (Cd) and shorter vapor penetration than low viscosity fuels. Continuous liquid phase penetration is related to differences in surface tension, viscosity and density; while the penetration of droplets and ligaments is related to volatility, their penetration is short for highly volatile fuels and long for low-volatility fuels.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Engine tests show that particle matter (PM) emissions are generally lower when these alternative fuels are used, but the use of RME leads to increased NO<sub>x</sub> emissions correlating with elevated flame temperatures.</div>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
