A Study of the Influence of Nozzle Orifice Geometries on Fuel Evaporation using Laser-Induced Exciplex Fluorescence
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Projected stringent emissions legislation will make tough demands on engine development. For diesel engines, in which combustion and emissions formation are governed by the spray formation and mixing processes, fuel injection plays a major role in the future development of cleaner engines. It is therefore important to study the fundamental features of the fuel injection process.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">In an engine the fuel is injected at high pressure into a pressurized and hot environment of air, which causes droplet formation and fuel evaporation. The injected fuel then forms a gaseous phase surrounding the liquid phase. The amount of evaporated fuel in relation to the total amount of injected fuel is of importance for engine performance, i.e. ignition delay and mixing rate.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">In this paper, the fraction of evaporated fuel was determined for sprays, using different orifice diameters ranging from 0.100 mm up to 0.227 mm, with the aid of a high-pressure spray chamber. The conicity of the orifice was also varied. Three injection pressures and two chamber temperatures were also used. The amount of evaporated fuel was determined by laser-induced exciplex fluorescence measurement of the gaseous and liquid phases of the fuel spray. The measurement of the phases consists of time-resolved, two-dimensional images. The fuel in this study consisted of a mixture of 1-cyanonaphthalene, N,N-dibutylaniline and n-dodecane. The fuel was excited by a laser wavelength of 355 nm. The results show a strong reduction of fuel penetration for one of the conical orifices. It was also found that both increased injection pressure and reduced orifice diameter reduce the liquid volume fraction of the spray, i.e. the gas volume fraction increases.</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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
