Abstract
When a diesel engine runs on water–fuel emulsion, carbon deposits break down on account of microimpact by the fuel droplets in the emulsion. The evaporation of the droplets depends on their diameter, the gas pressure, and the size of the bubble cavity. Removal of the deposits increases the mean compression ratio in the cylinder by 8% and the engine’s power by 11%. Fuel consumption declines by 10%, and the smoke content of the exhaust gases declines by 16%.
