Abstract Diethyl ether is one of the potential alternative fuels for the high speed compression ignition engines that can replace the existing neat diesel fuel. It is
well known that the combustion characteristic of a compression ignition engine is highly influenced by the fuel spray structure formed during the
injection process. In this paper the spray structure formation for the diethyl ether fuel is studied numerically, using the discrete phase model and it is
compared with the neat diesel fuel. The spray is investigated in a constant volume chamber maintained at 30 bar pressure. The fuel… More >
