Modeling of Air-Assisted and Flash Boiling Sprays in Gasoline Direct Injection Engines
… were made for air-assisted sprays and flash boiling sprays. Both the air-assisted sprays and flash boiling sprays reduced fuel impingement substantially compared with a conventional GDI fuel injector. The air-assisted fuel injector produced the softest sprays in this study, but flash …

Modeling of droplet evaporation, flash-boiling, and mixture preparation in internal combustion engines
… simulate the droplet evaporation in fuel spray. Flash-boiling of spray generates ultra-fine fuel mist and is potentially beneficial to the mixture preparation. The author examines the existing model for the droplet flashing breakup. The existing model is reformulated and merged with the Taylor …

Modeling of Multicomponent Fuel Vaporization in Internal Combustion Engines
… study on modeling micro-explosions and flash boiling was performed. These two phenomena were modeled using a bubble-droplet system. A description was formulated to predict bubble growth and was verified using experiment data. Both the breakup due to aerodynamical force and the breakup …

Investigation of a Reproducible Boiling Phenomenon with Relevance to Volcanic Lightning
… of the 18th and 19th centuries, which involved boiling water are reviewed in detail. Studies of saline contact charging, undertaken by Blanchard et al, when Surtsey emerged in 1963 are reviewed and lead to the continuation, in this investigation, of the Leidenfrost form of boiling and the …

Spray characterization of flex-fuel gasoline di injectors and spray interaction with charge motion in a variable valve actuation engine
… of the spray images revealed that the effect of flash boiling could change the spray shape drastically by plume collapse. Significance of flash boiling depended not only on ambient condition, but on injection condition and a combination of other effects including fuel properties and nozzle …

An efficient heat engine for ocean thermal energy conversion
… technology uses a phase-change Rankine cycle, boiling either pressurized ammonia-working-fluid in a closed cycle or vacuum flash boiling warm seawater in an open cycle, and then passing through a spinning turbine. Their efficiencies hover around 1% versus the possible 7% Carnot efficiency. This …
