An experimental study of fuel evaporation in diesel sprays under current direct-injection diesel engines operating conditions is presented in this article. Liquid spray penetration has been obtained by means of backlight illumination images taken from a wide optical access engine operating under reacting and nonreacting conditions. From these measurements, the dependence of liquid spray maximum penetration on injection and ambient conditions is obtained and analyzed applying a diesel spray model and the hypothesis of mixing limited vaporization, which is verified by experimental results. A complete characterization of the internal nozzle flow and the sprays injected under nonevaporative conditions has been pe formed in a previous publication (Part I). In the present article (Part II), the results of that study are applied in order to assist the analysis of spray evaporative behavior.
