The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

ABSTRACT

The mass distribution of diesel fuel sprays close to the nozzle has been determined by using absorption techniques with a monochromatic, synchrotron X-ray beam. The measurements were highly quantitative, with a temporal resolution better than 1 ms. The radial mass distribution of the fuel can be well described by a Gaussian distribution near the nozzle. The calculated volume fraction of the fuel indicates that the so-called liquid core near the nozzle did not exist under the test conditions examined (20–80 MPa injection pressure, 0.3–0.6 ms injection duration). Rather, the bulk of the spray was composed of a liquid/gas mixture with liquid content not exceeding 50% by volume. The maximum-density region was found at the front edge of the sprays, where the fuel volume fraction can reach 80%, and was limited to a thin layer (1–2 mm) perpendicular to the spray axis. The penetration of the front edge was found to be nonlinear with respect to injection duration within 20 mm from the nozzle.
