RADIATION CAPACITY OF DIESEL ENGINE COMBUSION FLAME

DAS STRAHLUNGSVERMOEGEN DER DIESELMOTORISCHEN FLAMME

The radiation intensity of the combustion flame was measured in a one-cylinder test diesel engine provided with a quartz window by using an electronic radiation meter. It was found that the radiation constitutes a substantial share of the total heat transmitted to the cooling water. It was also found that the amount of flame radiation is a function of the crank angle and depends to a great extent on the excess air amount in the fuel mixture.
