In the paper the possibilities of a Rapid Compression Machine in the investigation of the fundamental processes in IC engines have been presented. The test-stand design, principles of its control and basic operational features have been discussed and compared with the parameters of the test facilities of similar type currently in use worldwide. A short evaluation has been performed of its functionality and possibilities of application in the research on thermodynamics of injection and combustion processes. The evaluation pointed to the possibility of variation of the parameters and variables in the RCM. The main parameters and operational indexes of the Test-stand have been presented along with some examples of the achieved results from the investigations of engine internal processes

The development of internal combustion engines involves various new solutions, one of which is the use of dual-fuel systems. The diversity of technological solutions being developed determines the efficiency of such systems, as well as the possibility of reducing the emission of carbon dioxide and exhaust components into the atmosphere. An innovative double direct injection system was used as a method for forming a mixture in the combustion chamber. The tests were carried out with the use of gasoline, ethanol, n-heptane, and n-butanol during combustion in a model test engine—the rapid compression machine (RCM). The analyzed combustion process indicators included the cylinder pressure, pressure increase rate, heat release rate, and heat release value. Optical tests of the combustion process made it possible to analyze the flame development in the observed area of the combustion chamber. The conducted research and analyses resulted in the observation that it is possible to control the excess air ratio in the direct vicinity of the spark plug just before ignition. Such possibilities occur as a result of the properties of the injected fuels, which include different amounts of air required for their stoichiometric combustion. The studies of the combustion process have shown that the combustible mixtures consisting of gasoline with another fuel are characterized by greater combustion efficiency than the mixtures composed of only a single fuel type, and that the influence of the type of fuel used is significant for the combustion process and its indicator values.
