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 purpose of this study was to obtain the relationship between the droplet size of a spray, the nozzle hole configuration represented by the nozzle length/diameter ratio (L/D), and the shape of the inlet of the nozzle hole in a steady spray in the range of diesel injection pressures, and to obtain a possible mechanism of the nozzle hole configuration effect. It is shown that the droplet size is insensitive to the L/D for less than a certain value, for a simple straight nozzle, and is apparently affected by the shape of the inlet. However, the inlet shape effect is not substantial, because it disappears when the virtual injection velocity obtained on the basis of the contraction coefficient of the nozzle is applied instead of the mean injection velocity obtained from the nominal nozzle diameter. These conclusions were derived from various lands of experiments using several types of nozzles and different kinds of measurements. A possible mechanism is presented that can explain most of the results.
