Frequency diagram for Size of droplets D is the droplet diameter and N is the normalized number distribution.

Physical & Mathematical Conditions The following physical and mathematical conditions must be obeyed: The sum of all probabilities must be unity: (ii) the instantaneous mass flow of sprayed liquid must be equal to the mass of all droplets produced per unit time: where n is the total number of droplets produced per unit time and mL is the liquid mass flux.

Physical Models for Spray Characterization Entropy of a group of droplets: where S is the information entropy, the name used when the information concept is applied to problems in physics and engineering. In this equation K is a constant and Pi is the probability of the occurrence of a certain result, in terms of number fraction. Maximum feasible entropy corresponding to physical conditions will decide the droplet distribution.

Simplified Engineering fuel Evaporation model The comprehensive fuel spray model predicts individual motions of liquid fuel droplets and evaporation of each droplet. It also includes a more detailed treatment of in-cylinder evaporation. In a simplified engineering model a representative diameter for the entire group is defined to compute evaporation rate. Equivalent diameter of same number of uniformly sized droplets having same total surface area.

Injector Capacity : Maximum Fuel Flow Rate Flow rate is the most important factor to consider when selecting a fuel injector. EFI tunes are written for a specific injector flow rate and, generally, the fuel injector should match this. The flow rate is a measure of how much fuel an injector will spray at a 100% duty cycle (wide open) at a specific base fuel pressure. Most fuel injector flow ratings are measured at a base fuel pressure of 3 bar and is about 10.5 cc/minute. It is possible to use a different injector size than the fueling map was written for by changing the fuel pressure.

Sizing of Injector While fuel injectors are rated at a 100% duty cycle, it is common practice to size the fuel injectors based on a 80% duty cycle. Since the flow rate is measured at a static fuel pressure on a new injector, and does not take into account the opening and closing of the injector, the 80% duty cycle maximum gives a factor of safety to account for actual driving conditions and a reduction in flow rate caused by deposits. This factor of safety is important because a lean fuel mixture will result in excessive heat and can potentially lead to engine damage.

Control of Mass Flow Through an EFI The mass flow through an EFI is selected based on three main factors. Engine rpm, Throttle position, and Oxygen remaining within the exhaust. The distributor triggering contacts relay the engine speed to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The load on the engine is taken from the intake air pressure sensor. These factors influence how long the injectors remain on for.
