2. Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel
Diesel published a treatise entitled, Theory and Construction of a Rational Heat-engine to Replace the Steam Engine and Combustion Engines Known Today.
This formed the basis for his work on and invention of, the diesel engine.
In his engine, fuel was injected at the end of compression and the fuel was ignited by the high temperature resulting from compression.

6. Components of Entropy generation mechanisms in CI engines
The Global Entropy generation contains the following sub-processes:
Spray development
Air entrainment and mixing
Droplet evaporation
Auto Ignition
Combustion and thermodynamic Processes
Heat transfer among various parts (Zones) of Cylinder
Particulates & NOx formation,
Variation of gas properties
Variation of Chemical compositions

7. Sauter Mean Diameter
The representative diameter is defined as Sauter mean diameter (SMD).
Introducing the definition of SMD:

Where

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
where do is the discharge orifice diameter and
FN is the nozzle flow number defined by

10. Droplet evaporation
Fuel–air mixing is the key factor for in-cylinder combustion at high loads.
As the engine load decrease, the process of droplet evaporation becomes more important.
It is dominant under starting conditions.
The droplet evaporation is calculated with the theory of single droplet.
The fuel spray on break-up atomizes to a very large number of droplets.
The droplet size distribution in sprays is the crucial parameter needed for the fundamental analysis of therate of evaporation.

11. where  is the evaporation constant for forced convection.
Spray vaporization
The spray is divided into an initial "cool” and "hot" zone.
Within the cool zone, heat transfer is restricted to radiation from the flame front to the droplet surface.
In the hot zone, heat transfer takes place both by radiation from the flame front and by turbulent convection.
The reduction in droplet diameter due to vaporization follows the "d2 law":
where  is the evaporation constant for forced convection.

The evaporation constant in forced convection
Where, k is the thermal conductivity of the gas,
Cp is the specific heat of the gas,
f is the density of the fuel and
B=the transfer number

13. hfg = latent heat of vaporization per unit mass of fuel,
T= temperature of gas surrounding the droplet,
Tf= temperature of drop surface,
Q = heat of reaction,
Y0=mass fraction of oxidant in the surrounding atmosphere and
 stoichiometric mixture ratio.

14. A, B and n are experimental constants.
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.

An Arhenius type equation for Ignition delay is:
