Reducing the heat transfer occurring during the spray combustion of diesel engines remains a challenging task. This study investigated the spray flame behaviour, wall heat flux, and heat transfer phenomena of diesel engines at varying common rail pressures. A rapid compression and expansion machine (RCEM) was employed to simulate a single cycle of diesel spray combustion using split injection sprays. The two-dimensional (2D) stepped piston cavity is a uniquely shaped model used to describe the spray flame behaviour in the combustion chamber. To investigate the heat transfer phenomena, we installed wall heat flux sensors in the cylinder and cavity side. The results indicated that higher common rail pressures increased the peak value of the wall heat flux and reduced the combustion duration and the luminous flame. The higher common rail pressure led to an increase in spray velocity, thereby enhancing the turbulence level. This increase in turbulence to higher peak value of the wall heat flux. The highest peak value of the wall heat flux was reached by the cylinder head owing to the intense combustion region, followed by the cavity bottom owing to the highest flame temperature occurring around this location. Additionally, the heat transfer phenomena in diesel engines were successfully represented by local Nu-Re correlations. Our results contribute to the discussion on heat transfer phenomena that influence the thermal efficiency of diesel combustion engines. |
