Early flame development and burning rates in spark ignition engines and their cyclic variability
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of in-cylinder gas motion several combinations of shrouded and unshrouded inlet valves, and flat and stepped pistons were used to study the early flame development and burning rates in a premixed spark-ignition engine.

Combustion and emissions performance of a DME-enriched spark-ignited methanol engine at idle condition
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of applying the methanol/Dimethyl ether (DME) blended fuel in a SI engine at idle condition and found that the engine performance was increased by 25% and the coefficient of cyclic variation in engine speed was decreased by 29.2% at the DME energy fraction.

Combustion quasi-two zone predictive model for dual fuel engines
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-two zone predictive model is developed for predicting the combustion processes in dual fuel engines and some of their performance features, while the role of the pilot fuel in the ignition and heat release processes is considered.

Heat Release Analysis of Engine Pressure Data
TL;DR: In this article, a heat release model using a one zone description of the cylinder contents with thermodynamic properties represented by a linear approximation is presented. But the model does not consider the effects of heat transfer, crevice flows and fuel injection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulent flame propagation and combustion in spark ignition engines
TL;DR: In this paper, pressure measurements synchronized with high-speed motion-picture records of flame propagation have been made in a transparent-piston engine and the data have been analyzed in a model-independent way to obtain a set of empirical equations for calculating mass burning rates in spark-ignition engines.

Laminar burning speed measurements of indolene-air-diluent mixtures at high pressures and temperatures
David B. Rhodes,James C. Keck +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the laminar burning speeds of two practical multi-component hydrocarbon fuels similar to automotive gasoline were measured using a spherical combustion bomb with central ignition using a power function expression involving unburned gas pressure and temperature, and the diluent fraction.

Cyclic Dispersion in the Homogeneous-Charge Spark-Ignition Engine—A Literature Survey
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulent flame structure and speed in spark-ignition engines
TL;DR: In this paper, Schlieren photographs, shadowgraphs and laser scattering measurements strongly suggest a highly wrinkled structure for the turbulent flame in spark-ignition engines, and two closely related sets of empirical equations for calculating burning rates were derived.
