Abstract

The ignition of leaked fuel of the diesel engine is studied experimentally. The critical ignition temperature is calculated statistically. The difference between the ignition temperature and auto - ignition temperature of diesel is much less than that of other fuels. The ignition mode is also much different from its counterpart. The paper describes the detailed boiling mode of the leaked fuel on a hot surface. The equation to get the mass flux of the fuel vapor is given.
