A Comparative Study between Circular and Elliptical Nozzle Holes on Natural Gas Combustion and Soot Formation in a Direct Injection Engine

The effects of changing nozzle hole patterns and hole geometry in a direct injection natural gas optically accessible engine was investigated. Six nozzles were studied having a 1 hole, 3 hole, and 9 hole pattern; each having either elliptical or circular hole geometries. Combustion images were taken...
