| Sumario: | Natural gas (NG) direct injection (DI) technology benefits the engine with high efficiency and clean emissions, and the high-pressure gas fuel injection process causes crucial effects on the combustion. This study presents an optical experimental investigation on the high-pressure methane single-hole direct injection and premixed ignition combustion based on a visualization cuboid constant volume bomb (CVB) test rig. The experimental results show that the methane jet process is divided into two stages. The methane gas jet travels at a faster speed during the unstable stage I than that during the stable stage II. The injection pressure causes more influence on both the jet penetration distance and the jet cone area during stage II. The methane jet premixed flame is a stable flame with a nearly spherical shape, and its equivalent radius linearly increases. The methane jet premixed flame area also increases while the flame stretch rate declines. The methane jet premixed flame velocity rises as both the standing time and equivalent ratio increase. The methane jet premixed flame is a partial premixed flame, and the peak of the methane jet premixed flame occurs at greater equivalence ratio <i>ϕ</i>, i.e., <i>ϕ</i> > 2. As the injection pressure rises, the jet premixed flame equivalent radius increases, and the flame velocity linearly increases. The higher the methane injection pressure, the faster the jet premixed flame velocity. |
