The test blends used were B5, B10 and B20 (where B5 is 5% n-butanol by volume and 95% diesel fuel-DF). In this study, the BTE was higher and the BSFC improved more than in the other study. Because of improved BTE with increasing brake mean effective pressure, BMEP, the BSFC reduced, however the increased shared volume of n-butanol in DF increased BSFC. Adding n-butanol in DF slightly derated the torque, brake power output with increasing speed, and caused a fall in exhaust gas temperatures, (EGT) which improves the volumetric efficiency and reduces compression work. Therefore, a small-shared volume of n-butanol in DF fired in a turbo-charged diesel engine performs better in terms of BTE and BSFC than that of ethanol or methanol blending in DF.展开更多

This study was aimed at figuring out the influences of blending long-chain alcohols with jet fuel on the macroscopic spray characteristic. n-Butanol and n-pentanol were chosen as tested alternative fuels. A common-rail injection system was used to create high-pressure injection conditions. The Schlieren imaging system was used to capture spray processes. Results showed that with the addition of long-chain alcohols, the spray tip penetration and the peak spray tip velocity increased, whereas the spray cone angle and the spray area decreased. Comparisons between those macroscopic spray characteristics of AKB blends and AKP blends were also conducted. Compared to AKB blends, AKP blends showed similar spray tip penetration, larger peak tip velocity, smaller spray cone angle, and smaller spray area.展开更多

文摘为深入了解丁醇柴油的喷雾特性,该文根据喷雾可视化试验结果,利用AVL Fire软件建立了耦合喷嘴内流动的丁醇柴油喷雾模型,并依据试验结果证明了模型的准确性。通过该模型研究了喷油压力、背压和掺混比对丁醇柴油喷雾的影响,计算了各种因素对混合燃料的油束发展、喷雾贯穿距、索特平均直径(sauter mean diameter,SMD)、速度场和浓度场的影响。结果表明:随喷油压力和背压的变化,正丁醇体积分数为25%的丁醇柴油混合燃料(记为N25)的油束形态基本不变;随喷油压力的升高,N25的贯穿距增加,SMD减小,油束和环境的卷吸增强,油束中心速度和轴线附近浓度均增加;随背压的升高,N25贯穿距减小,SMD在喷雾初期稍降,喷雾中后期基本不变,油束中心的速度降低,浓度增加;随正丁醇掺混比的增加,贯穿距和SMD均逐渐降低;随环境温度的升高,贯穿距增加,SMD在温度由293.15 K升高后明显降低,而后随温度升高变化不大。该文的研究分析了多种因素对丁醇柴油喷雾的影响,为其作为替代燃料的应用提供了理论支持。
