Abstract(E)	Preventing abnormal shut-off before the completion of refueling is essential to minimizing vapor emissions from fuel tanks into the atmosphere. Previous investigations of abnormal shut-off during refueling have primarily relied on CFD analysis of fuel tank systems. However, there has been limited discussion from a phenomenological perspective that directly links the shut-off mechanism to the pressure balance between the filler tube and the tank. The objective of this study is to establish a pressure-based method for determining abnormal shut-off during refueling by comparing the fuel-pushing pressure at the filler tube (critical refueling pressure) with the transient internal fuel tank pressure (transient tank pressure). The proposed method determines abnormal shut-off when the critical refueling pressure becomes lower than the transient tank pressure, rendering it impossible to push the delivered fuel into the tank. The critical refueling pressure was derived theoretically by modeling the flow field inside the filler tube and predicting the total pressure immediately upstream of the outlet. The transient tank pressure during refueling was predicted using an equation for pressure loss in the vapor-displacement line of the fuel tank. Finally, the respective pressures were calculated for actual fuel tank systems using the derived prediction formulas and were compared with measured values. The predicted values showed good agreement with the experimental data, and demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed pressure-based method for determining abnormal shut-off during refueling.

About search

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.

If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).

Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.

Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)" X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"

If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)

If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.

The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
