humidity and combustion

(OP)
I'm involved in a R&D project studying the influence of air humidity on combustion in a diesel engine and its impacts on the efficiency and emmissions.
Does anybody know some work already done on this subject ?
Thanks !

RE: humidity and combustion

I'd say almost certainly, the major diesel engine manufacturers have looked into it a good bit.  Whether any of it is publicly available information is a different issue.

RE: humidity and combustion

HAve you done a search for "water diesel" on this site?  Most such questions would be answered in the Fuel or Automotive Engineering forums.

RE: humidity and combustion

There is the "strange" fact worth mentioning that spraying cold water into air may actually dehumidify it, as long as the water temperature is below the entering air's dew point. In this particular case, heat and mass, both flow from air to water.
