The Influence of Elliptical Nozzle Holes on Mixing and Combustion in Direct Injection Natural Gas Engines

Experiments were conducted to compare mixing and combustion of natural gas jets from round and elliptical nozzle holes in an optically accessible combustion bomb. A flame ionization detector was used to measure the concentration fields of the two jet types. Pressure data, combustion imaging, and hy...
