Burning Model

The way in which position of spark plug affects combustion in a spark ignition engine can be analyzed by using two-zone burning model. The purpose of this paper is to extract correlations to simulate the geometric interaction between the propagating flame and the general cylindrical combustion chamber. Eight different cases were recognized. Appropriate equations to calculate the flame area (Af), the burned and the unburned volume (Vb & Vu) and the heat transfer areas related to the burned and unburned regions were derived and presented for each case using Taylor expansion in order to replace numerical solution with trigonometric algebraic functions.

Approximate Procedure

In performing synthesis or analysis of the combustion process in spark-ignition engines by digital computer, it is necessary to know the enflamed volume, the flame front area, and the area of the chamber surface in contact with the enflamed material, as functions of flame travel distance. This Note examines the case of spherical flame propagation in a disc-shaped chamber, with origin at any point on one of the flat surfaces. An ‘exact’ method of computation is outlined, and a simple approximate procedure, giving high accurary for this particular case, is described.

First Results

Two methods for measuring quantitatively the knock intensity in spark ignition engines are described. The measurements are based on the detection of either pressure oscillations in the combustion chamber or the engine head vibrations due to knock. Some first results are reported.
