Estimation of Life Time of Fuel Droplet Evaporation with Various in Cylinder Pressures, Compression Ratios and Exhaust Gas Recirculation

Student, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Coimbatore Institute of Technology, Coimbatore-14

Abstract

The current research proposes a novel technique using simulation-analytical method to determine the lifetime of droplet evaporation in compression ignition (CI) engine. Using this technique, investigation was carried out to determine the optimum conditions for minimum droplet lifetime. The variation of droplet lifetime was studied for three parameters namely in cylinder pressure, compression ratio and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) percentage. The best conditions for low droplet lifetime were obtained.
