Abstract

Experimental studies to compare spray characteristics of kerosene fuels and diesel fuel were performed in a constant-volume vessel. Three kinds of fuels such as -10# diesel, aviation kerosene and lamp kerosene were tested. The spray characteristics were studied by use of the shadowgraph method. The spray cone angle and penetration were observed. In general, the spray cone angles of the kerosene fuels are slightly larger than that of diesel fuel. In the initial range of the spray, about 0~0.5ms, the spray cone angles of aviation kerosene and lamp kerosene are bigger than diesel fuel at the same time, by 11.2% and 10.3%. The spray penetration of the two kerosene fuels are nearly the same with the difference less than 3%. Meanwhile the penetration of diesel fuel is significantly about 18.3% and 17.1% longer than kerosene fuels.
