Atomization speed of diesel fuel injected from 8-hole nozzle is faster than that of 7-hole nozzle because the hole diameter of 8-hole nozzle is smaller than that of 7-hole nozzle. But both insufficient distance between the fuel sprays and short penetration of injected sprays through 8-hole nozzle hole cause many harmful effects on combustion. In this study, we installed the 8-hole injectors to diesel 2.0 liter class engine, and optimized in-cylinder swirl and penetration via selecting and matching proper cylinder head and combustion bowl. Through this process, we found out the performance and emission potential of 8-hole nozzle installed engine are better than those of 7-hole nozzle installed one.

The performance of a direct-injection type diesel engine often depends on the strength of air flow in the cylinder, shape of combustion chamber, the number of nozzle holes, etc. This is of course because the process of combustion in the cylinder was affected by the mixture formation process. In the present paper, high speed photography was employed to investigate the effectiveness of holes penetrated from the bottom of cavity wall to piston crown for some more useful utilization of air. The holes would function to improve mixing of fuel and air by the increase of air flow in the cylinder. The results obtained are summarized as follows, (1) Activated first of the combustion by shorten of ignition timing and rapid flame propagation (2) Raised the combustion peak pressure, more close to TDC the formation timing of peak pressure.

To develop an analytic method of combustion characteristics in a small sized and single cylinder type diesel engine for a power tiller, 1) the theoritical analysis of combustion gas in engine cylinder was performed based on thermoscience and 2) the computer program which could be used to calculate those values of the apparent burning rate, the heat loss, the gas temperature and the fuel-air equivalence ratio with the experimental cylinder pressure data, was developed. This method would provide the practical and quantative data for the diesel combustion process. Through the use of this method, following details would be obtained: 1) the application in the modeling of combustion process without detail knowledeg of combustion process, 2) the basis for the complete modeling of diesel engine, and 3) the basic information for the design of combustion chamber by the prediction of engine performance.

Combined technique of burner and DOC has been used for regeneration of Diesel Particulate Filter. Experiments has been performed to increase the temperature of engine exhaust gas to burn the collected soot in DPF at all conditions of operation of 3 liter diesel engine. Ignition temperature of soot can be successfully obtained by heats of burner flame and residual fuel oxidation at diesel oxidation catalyst even in the condition of oxygen deficiency. It is found that the load of air compressor and heat loss can be reduced to the level of practical application. It is also found that CO and THC emissions are not increase by additional combustion of regeneration burner.

Recently the laser sheet technique has been developed to improve our limited understanding of the in-cylinder diesel combustion. The technique is capable of high temporal and spatial resolution, so that it is proved to be an adequate combustion diagnostics to find out exhaust emission formation. The optical signals of LIS(Laser Induced Scattering) and LII(Laser Induced Incandescence) images show informations for soot concentration within the optically accessible diesel engine. The LIS and LII signal images of soot concentration provide new insight into where and when soot occurs in a diesel engine.

Performance and emissions with different diesel injection methods were analyzed in a natural gas-diesel, dual-fuel engine under low-load conditions. Natural gas was supplied to intake port during the intake stoke to form a natural gas-air premixed mixture for all methods. Diesel was injected directly into the cylinder during the compression stroke in three ways: early injections, late injections, and a combination of early and late injections. The early injections had the highest thermal efficiency among the three methods owing to its highest combustion efficiency. The wide dispersion of diesel before the combustion initiation also allowed superior emissions characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a new method to determine a combustion phase (start of combustion and end of combustion) using a combustion pressure data. Unlike previous research method that used heat release amount, the difference between the combustion pressure measured in the combustion chamber and the motoring pressure was used to determine the combustion phase. This research was conducted using a single-cylinder diesel engine with a compression ratio of 17.7. The test was conducted under various injection timing. The newly proposed method showed high accuracy in combustion mode with early injection, as well as the conventional combustion mode. It is expected that this method will be used to study new combustion strategies such as HCCI (homogeneous charge compression ignition) and RCCI (reactivity controlled compression ignition) that are applying early injection strategies as well as existing combustion modes.

This paper dealt itself with the relation of the heat release rate with crank angle in combustion process by adjusting the injection time, injection amount and engine speed of diesel engine. The result of test were obtained by analyzing indicator diagram of KUBOTA 2LKE diesel engine, where the indicator was used Tertronix oscilloscope. The combustion period of diesel engine is composed of premixed burning time and combustion controlled time. The larger the premixed burning region, the higher efficiency was obtained with the higher maximum pressure than at the time of the normal smooth operation. The longer the combustion controlled time, the lower the maximum pressure than the period of the normal operation, but the efficiency was decreased. The region of premixed burning was principally controlled by injection delay, but combustion controlled time was affected when oxygen and fuel were mixed. Efficiency of engine was increased at the time of earlier injection time under the constant injection amount, and engine speed, but the pressure increasing was observed higher than the efficiency increasing.

This study is to investigate the effect of the cetane number in ultra low sulfur diesel fuel on combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions at 1500 rpm and 2.6bar BMEP in low-temperature diesel combustion with 1.9L common rail direct injection diesel engine. Low-temperature diesel combustion was achieved by adopting external high EGR rate with the strategic injection control without modification of engine components. Test fuels are ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (sulfur less than 12 ppm) with two cetane numbers (CN), i.e., CN30 and CN55. For the CN30 fuel, as a start of injection (SOI) timing is retarded, the duration of an ignition delay was decreased while still longer than $20^{\circ}CA$ for all the SOI timings. In the meanwhile, the CN55 fuel showed that an ignition delay was monotonically extended as an SOI timing is retarded but much shorter than that of the CN30 fuel. The duration of combustion for both fuels was increased as an SOI timing is retarded. For the SOI timing for the minimum BSFC, the CN30 produced nearly zero PM much less than the CN55, while keeping the level of NOx and the fuel consumption similar to the CN55 fuel. However, the CN30 produced more THC and CO than the CN55 fuel, which may come from the longer ignition delay of CN30 to make fuel and air over-mixed.

The effect of pilot injection quantity on the combustion and emissions characteristics of a compression ignition engine with a biodiesel-compressed natural gas (CNG) dual fuel combustion (DFC) system is studied in this work. Biodiesel is used as a pilot injection fuel to ignite the main fuel, CNG of DFC. The pilot injection quantity is controlled to investigate the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions in a single cylinder diesel engine. The injection pressure and injection timing of pilot fuel are maintained at approximately 120 MPa and BTDC 17 crank angle, respectively. Results show that the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) of biodiesel-CNG DFC mode is similar to that of diesel-CNG DFC mode at all load conditions. Combustion stability of biodiesel-CNG DFC mode decreased with increase of engine load, but no notable trend of cycle-to-cycle variations with increase of pilot injection quantity is discovered. The combustion of biodiesel-CNG begins at a retarded crank angle compared to that of diesel-CNG at low load, but it is advanced at high loads. Smoke and NOx of biodiesel-CNG are simultaneously increased with the increase of pilot fuel quantity. Compared to the diesel-CNG DFC, however, smoke and NOx emissions are slightly reduced over all operating conditions. Biodiesel-CNG DFC yields higher $CO_2$ emissions compared to diesel-CNG DFC over all engine conditions. CO and HC emissions for biodiesel-CNG DFC is decreased with the increase of pilot injection quantity.
