dc.description.abstract | The effects of changes in engine geometry on the breathing
and combustion processes in a spark ignition engine have been investigated.
It has been shown that a survey of engine geometry can
readily illustrate design limitations in three areas : Fluid
dynamic, Mechanical and Thermodynamic, and so reduce the extent of
investigation available to the designer.
The induction performance has been analysed mathematically
and comparisons made with experimental work.
The results indicate that an assessment of the effect of
changes of geometry can be made using empirical relationships without
complex mathematics.
An attempt has been made to relate the turbulent to laminar
flame speed ratio to the engine's physical parameters. These
results compare well with previously published work by other
workers. | en |
