external mixing type that uses water-emulsified fuel
shows higher CO emission. This type also produces
higher SOF emission than internally rapid mixing
type. These results suggest that external mixing type
has deterioration of combustion efficiency due to
incomplete combustion. High flame height caused by
inactive combustion leads to high gas temperature of
T700 at φ=1.2 using external mixing type of injector.
Figure 8 provides example of flame images at high
load condition of φ=1.2 using gas oil as fuel.
Considering that bright flame is mainly luminescence
of soot, water addition by both emulsified and water
mixing has strong effect on soot reduction. In
particular, internally rapid mixing injector shows
little luminous flame in the case of introducing water.
These kinds of flame characteristics correspond to

the case of GOW50, there is a smoke limit island
around φ=0.6, Qa/Qt=0.1 as shown in Fig.9(b). The
island is also shown in Fig.10(a) as peaked PM
emission characteristics. This is assumed to be
caused by incomplete combustion as follows. Lower
atomizing air flow rate deteriorates the fuel
atomization, thus combustion itself also becomes
inactive. Although combustion manages to be
maintained at higher equivalence ratio (around φ=1),
reduction of φ causes further degradation of
combustion and SOF once increased. Further
reduction of φ results in incomplete combustion,
which means the great part of fuel does not burn,
resulting all of the emission decreased. Although
there must be the same problem even in GO case,

Qa/Qt cases in Fig.10, lower fuel equivalence ratio
results lower temperature in GOW50 than GO, and
higher φ yields higher temperature in GOW50. On
the other hand, NOx emission in GOW50 is
consistently lower than GO. This implies that global
temperature in combustion region, which is related
with exhaust temperature, is not a key factor of the
NOx reduction mechanism in GOW50. In Fig.10, the
main component of PM in GOW50 is SOF in all
cases of Qa/Qt. Furthermore SOLID component in
PM is perfectly suppressed in GOW50. This indicates
that water addition to the fuel suppresses the total
amount of PM, but increases the SOF component. In
