Cycle-resolved measurements of the fuel concentration near a spark plug in a rotary engine using an in situ laser absorption method
TL;DR: In this article, the fuel concentration near a spark plug in a commercial rotary engine was measured using a 3.392-μm He-Ne laser as the light source.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying system, which is equipped with a catalytic converter having
a NOx absorbent capable of absorbing NOx emissions in an excessively oxygen concentrated
atmosphere and releasing NOx emissions absorbed therein in response to a drop in oxygen
concentration of the exhaust gas, estimates a level of NOx absorption of the NOx absorbent
and, when the level of NOx absorption has reached a predetermined level, while controlling
an air-to-fuel ratio to converge at an approximately stoichiometric air-to-fuel ratio, divides
the amount of fuel that is to be sprayed into two parts for early split fuel injection which is
made at the beginning of an intake stroke and later split fuel injection which is made at an
end of a compression stroke following the intake stroke. While the engine operates in a high
engine load region, an intake throttle valve is closed so as to decrease the amount of intake
air that is introduced into the engine.
