Figure 8
Reconstructed fuel density distribution rings at 820 µs with cross-sectioned slices at 5 mm, 8 mm, 12 mm and 18 mm from the nozzle. The maximum fuel density in any of these cross sections is 105 µg mm−3 which is considerably less than the liquid density of the test fuel blend of 840 µg mm−3. The asymmetry of the spray is apparent in the cross-sectional rings and is evaluated quantitatively and summarized in Table 2. The vertical mark (dashed line in the 12 mm cross section) illustrates the halves where the fuel mass values are evaluated. |
