Visualization and Quantitative Analysis on Fuel Vapour Concentration in a Diesel Spray

Abstract

A single diesel spray of n — tridecane which was miscible with small dopants was injected from a hole nozzle into a quiescent high — temperature and high — pressure atmosphere, and was impinged upon a flat surface with high temperature. It is able to generate fluorescent emissions from vapor and liquid phases in this evaporating spray, when a laser light sheet from Nd: YAG laser is passing through the cross section of this spray. Then, clear 2 — dimensional images for vapor and liquid phases were obtained simultaneously, applying an exciplex fluorescence method. In particular, vapor concentration was assessed quantitatively by applying Lambert — Beer’s law into measured fluorescence intensity in vapor phase and by considering the quenching process of the fluorescent emission due to the mixture temperature.
