Petroleum-derived gasoline is currently the most widely used fuel for transportation
propulsion. The design and operation of gasoline fuels is governed by specific physical and …

A vaporization model for multi-component fuel sprays is described. The discrete multi-
component (DMC) fuel approach was used to model the properties and composition of …

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of injection timing on spray
and combustion characteristics in a spray guided direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine …

Spray atomization and evaporation play extremely important roles in mixture formation and
combustion processes of direct injection (DI) gasoline engines. In this study, the …

A model for unsteady droplet vaporization is presented that considers the droplet
temperature range from flash-boiling conditions to normal evaporation. The theory of …

The influence of the injector temperature on the spray distribution and fuel volatility of a high-
pressure swirl injector of the type used in direct-injection gasoline engines and thus of flash …

An experimental study was performed to evaluate the effects of ethanol blending on to
gasoline spray and combustion characteristics in a spray-guided direct-injection spark …

Extensive literature exists on spray development, mixing and combustion regarding engine
modeling and diagnostics using single-component and model fuels. However, often the …

Accelerated dilution of engine lubrication oil with unburned fuel is a significant potential
issue when utilizing fuels that contain biodiesel. Biodiesel produced from some feedstocks is …

Particulate Emissions from Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion
are routinely assumed to be negligible. It is shown here that this is not the case when HCCI …
