Influence of Biofuel kinematic viscosity on diesel fuel spray characteristics

The high level of biofuels kinematic viscosity could cause some sort of resistance of fuel flow during fuel injection, affecting the spray geometry and thus the atomization process.

Kinematic viscosity value highly effect spray geometry such as penetration and cone angle. Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) spray penetration is shortest and with narrow cone angle compared with Biodiesel Fuel (BDF) and Diesel Fuel (DF) spray. These are due to the high level of kinematic viscosity of SVO compared to BDF and DF fuel.

High injection pressure spray is improved in SVO fuel penetration length and development of structures like branches along spray boundary. High injection pressure spray also produces relatively small-size droplets and could improve atomization process for SVO spray.


SVO spray at high ambient temperature produce similar spray structures as DF spray due to kinematic viscosity level of SVO decreased with increased of fuel temperature. High ambient temperature spray produce smaller droplets size that could promoteatomization but slower vaporization compared to DF fuel cause increase of emission when running in low load engine.
