Improving the efficiency of diesel engines by means of electroprocessing of fuel

In the article the method of diesel locomotive efficiency upgrading by the process of electrical fuel manufacturing ispresented. An expression capable for evaluating the increase of proportion of active centers in the fuel after manufacturing by an electric discharge was obtained. A model of fuel diffusion combustion after manufacturing was developed. Processing and burning diesel fuel experiments are presented. Simulating of the work process of a diesel locomotive 10Д100’ diesel engine by using of electrothermal processing of fuel is conducted. The results received in work connect parameters of fuel manufacturing with diesel engine indicators. This allows providing feedback and more effective usage of fuel manufacturing in locomotive power stations.
