Experimental Study of Cavitating Flow inside Enlarged Transparent Injector Nozzles and its Effect on Spray

Article Preview

Abstract:

The complicated cavitating flow inside diesel nozzles has long been concentrated on. Based on the visualization experimental system, cavitating flow characteristic inside transparent nozzles with different length-diameter ratios was investigated in this paper. Experimental results showed that the cavitation is easier to occur for diesel than for biodiesel, and the longer the length of the orifice is, the harder the cavitation and hydraulic flip phenomenon to occur. Discharge coefficient of diesel was higher than that of biodiesel in single-phase flow region, while got much smaller than that of biodiesel in the cavitating flow and hydraulic flip regions.The spray cone angle of diesel was larger than biodiesel in cavitating flow regime, and got much smaller with the increasing of the length-diameter ratios under the same level of injection pressure in diesel and biodiesel fuels.
