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

An experimental investigation of electrostatic effects on gasoline injection from a commercially available injector into atmospheric ambiance is reported. The injector was modified with the addition of an insulated insert that introduced a sharp edge, through which an electric charge was introduced into the fuel. Visualization experiments were performed in order to characterize spray morphology both for electrostatically charged and noncharged sprays. Supported by PDA measurements of droplet size and velocity, these results indicate a faster transition of charged sprays from an initial stage of a narrow, columnlike spray to the desirable, hollow-cone spray. Light Fraunhofer diffraction measurements indicate slow temporal variation of the droplet size during injection and also that charged sprays have a considerably better repeatability of droplet size. These measurements were combined with a measurement of the average induced charge density in order to yield estimates of the electrostatic and inertial forces exerted on the droplets.
