About this book
- Explains the fundamental mechanisms behind turbulent hot jet ignition using non-dimensional analysis
- Explores ignition characteristics by impinging hot jet and multiple jets in relation to better controllability and lean combustion
- Explores how different instability modes interact with the acoustic modes of the combustion chamber.
This book provides a potential answer to some of the issues that arise from lean engine operation, such as poor ignition, engine misfire, cycle-to-cycle variability, combustion instability, reduction in efficiency, and an increase in unburned hydrocarbon emissions. This thesis was submitted to and approved by Purdue University.
