Mixing-Controlled CI Combustion (Part 1)
(Session Code: PFL204)

Room W2-65  9:30 a.m.

Features CI combustion technologies distinguished by 1) mixing processes that influence combustion; and 2) combustion phasing closely coupled to the timing of fuel injection. Includes the impact of the fuel injection and jet-mixing processes (e.g. multiple injection strategies, group-hole/ complex injector geometries); impact of swirl/spray targeting on mixing processes; combustion chamber/engine geometry optimization; sources of combustion inefficiency; and the impact of operating conditions.
