Increase of Vaporization of Fuel Oil and Temperature Rise of Mixture in the Suction Pipe of Kerosene Engine

Abstract

The relation between the increase of vaporization of gas oil and the temperature rise of mixture in the suction pipe has been studied under several conditions of preheating of the fuel oil or intake-air respectively. In the experiment a model horizontal suction pipe and a blower were used. From the results of this and past experiments, it has been ascertained that mixture heating is best, the fuel oil heating is second best and the air heating is worst, to obtain more veporization of fuel oi1 and less temperature rise of mixture in the suction pipe.
