Where is the liquid surface tension, L is the liquid viscosity, A is the air density, L is the liquid density, pL, is the injection pressure differential across the nozzle, is the half spray angle and t is the film thickness, given by
Thermo-Fluid Dynamics of Injection The basic processes are as follows. The fuel injected into a combustion chamber gets divided into many zones. Events in each zone are: droplet break-up, evaporation, air–fuel mixing, ignition, heat release, heat transfer and formation of exhaust emits. Each zone obtains its own zonal temperature and compositions. The mass, internal energy and mole quantity of NOx of each zone are different. The final effect of combustion is cylinder-averaged temperature, air–fuel ratio and NOx concentration.

Ignition Delay The sum of times required for sub process. The most widely reported correlation relating the ignition delay to the ambient gas condition is given by the relation where τ is the ignition delay, pg and Tg are the ambient gas mean pressure and temperature before autoignition takes place, A, B and n are experimental constants.
Arhenius-type equation for Ignition Delay An Arhenius type equation for Ignition delay is: p :Premixed air fuel ratio.
