In order to control emissions from engine, it is necessary to understand the mixture formation process of diesel spray. In this study, analysis of diesel fuel(n-Tridecane, $C_{13}H_{28}$) spray under a high temperature and pressure was performed by a general-purpose program, ANSYS CFX release 11.0, and the results of these are compared with experimental results of diesel fuel spray using the Exciplex Fluorescence Method. The simulation results of diesel spray is analyzed by using the combination of Large-Eddy Simulation(LES) and Lagrangian Particle Tracking(LPT), and then injection pressure was selected as an analysis parameter. Consequently, it was found that the experimental results and the numerical results are consistent with each other, and then in order to investigate the behavior characteristics of evaporative diesel spray, the effectiveness of the use of CFX of commercial code is definitely validated.

In this study, an analysis of evaporative diesel spray and an usefulness of a general-purpose program, ANSYS CFX release 11.0, are investigated through the comparison and investigation of the experimental results carried out under an evaporative field, in which there is phase transition, by an exciplex fluorescence method and the results analyzed by the CFX program. The diesel fuel called n-Tridecane, $C_{13}H_{28}$, is injected from a single-hole nozzle (l/d=1.0mm/0.2mm) into a constant volume chamber under a high temperature and pressure. In the same condition as the experimental condition, the analysis was carried out. Both results of the spray tip penetration were almost coincident at each time. The results have validated the usefulness of this analysis. As a result, if the ambient pressure is high, the spray tip penetration will be shortened and move toward the nozzle exit.

Benzene solution of trans-1,2-bispyrazylethylene and electron deficient olefin, tetracyanoethylene, as a ${\pi}$-acceptor gave 1,2-bispyrazyl-3,3,4,4-tetracyanocyclobutane, a 2${\pi}$ + 2${\pi}$ cycloaddition product, on irradiation with 350 nm UV light. Fluorescence studies revealed the reaction to proceed through a singlet exciplex. The fluorescence of trans-1,2-bispyrazylethylene was quenched very efficiently by tetracyanoethylene with the quenching constant of 1.6 ${\times}$ 10$^{10}$M$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ while electron rich olefin, tetramethylethylene, did not quench the fluorescence of bispyrazylethylene.

To analyze the mixture formation process of evaporating diesel spray is important for emissions reduction in actual engines. Then the effects of change in density of ambient gas on spray structure in high temperature and pressure field have been investigated in this study. The ambient gas density was changed from ${\rho}_a=5.0kg/m^3$ to ${\rho}_a=12.3kg/m^3$ with CVC(Constant Volume Chamber). Also, simulation study by modified KIVA-II code was conducted and compared with experimental results. The ambient temperature and injection pressure are kept as 700K and 72MPa, respectively. The images of liquid and vapor phase in the evaporating free spray were simultaneously taken by exciplex fluorescence method. As experimental results, with increasing ambient gas density, the tip penetration of the evaporating free spray decreases due to the increase in the drag force from ambient gas. The spatial structure of a diesel spray can be verified as 2-regions consisted of liquid with momentum decrease and vapor with large-scale vortex. The calculated results obtained by modified KIVA-II code show good agreements with experimental results.

The characteristics of combustion process in an internal combustion engine are affected by the mixing process between injected fuel and ambient gas. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the mixture formation process of diesel spray. In this study, the spray structure was visualized by the exciplex fluorescence method, which can provide the simultaneous 2-D images of vapor and liquid phase in inner spray. For accurate investigation, the liquid-phase images were recorded with a 35mm still camera and CCD camera. Consequentially, it could be confirmed that the high-concentration vapor phase is formed in the region of spray tip and the edge of the liquid phase where droplets exist in the evaporating diesel spray, and the formed vapor is spread by diffusion. Also, the distribution of vapor is determined by the motion of droplets that exist in the edge of the liquid phase and the spray-tip region.

Fluorescence (FL) properties of a novel donor-acceptor dyad, comprised of mesitylene and 1,4-dicyano-2-methylnaphthalene (DCMN) subunits connected by an ether linkage, were elucidated. The dyad in cyclohexane exhibits FL arising from an intramolecular exciplex. In the crystalline state, the dyad does not emit light from intra- and inter-molecular exciplexes but rather displays FL that is nearly equivalent to that of 2-methoxymethyl-substituted DCMN. However, the emission spectrum of the crystalline dyad contains a shoulder in the long wavelength region, suggesting that weak intercolumnar charge-transfer interactions take place between columns consisting of the mesitylene and DCMN subunits.

In this study the penetration distance of liquid phase fuel(i.e. liquid phsae length) was investigated in evaporative field. An exciplex fluorescence method was applied to the evaporative fuel spray to measure and investigate both the liquid and the vapor phase of the injected spray. For accurate investigation, images of the liquid and vapor phase regions were recorded using a 35mm still camera and CCD camera, respectively. Liquid fuel was injected from a single-hole nozzle (l/d=1.0mm/0.2mm) into a constant-volume chamber under high pressure and temperature in order to visualize the spray phenomena. Experimental results indicate that the liquid phase length decreased down to a certain constant value in accordance with increase in the ambient gas density and temperature. The constant value, about 40mm in this study the, is reached when the ambient density and temperature of the used fuel exceed critical condition.

The effects of change in injection pressure on spray structure in high temperature and pressure field have been investigated. The analysis of liquid and vapor phases of injected fuel is important for emissions control of diesel engines. Therefore, this work examines the evaporating spray structure using a constant volume vessel. The injection pressure is selected as the experimental parameter, is changed from 400 bar to 800 bar by using a common rail injection system. Also, we conducted simulation study by modified KIVA-II code. The results of simulation study are compared with experimental results. The images of liquid and vapor phase for free spray were simultaneously taken by exciplex fluorescence method. As experimental results, the vapor concentration of injected fuel is leaner due to the increase of atomization in the case of the high injection pressure than in that of the low injection pressure. The calculated results obtained by modified KIVA-II code show good agreements with experimental results.

The effects of density change of ambient gas on mixture formation process have been investigated in high temperature and pressure field. To analyze the mixture formation process of evaporating diesel spray is important for emissions reduction in actual engines. Ambient gas density was selected as experimental parameter. The ambient gas density was changed from $r_a=5.0kg/m^3\;to\;r_a=12.3kg/m^3$ with a high pressure injection system(ECD-U2). For visualization of the experiment phenomenon, a CVC(Constant Volume Chamber) was used in this study. The ambient temperature and injection pressure are kept as 700K and 72MPa, respectively. The images of liquid and vapor phase in the evaporating free spray were simultaneously taken by exciplex fluorescence method. As experimental results, with increasing ambient gas density, the tip penetration of the evaporating free spray decreases due to the increase in the drag force from ambient gas.
