TL;DR: In this article, the performance and emissions of a single cylinder, four-stroke spark ignition (SI) engine fuelled by two grades of gasoline used in Saudi Arabia, RON91 and RON95 while operating with two fuel delivery systems; port injection (PI) and direct injection (DI).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of pre-chamber jet ignition (PJI) on kerosene, which is less volatile and is more prone to knock than gasoline, are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, surface temperature and heat flux measurements were made in a single cylinder SI engine piston when uncoated and with two different surface coatings: a metal TBC and YSZ.
Abstract: An investigation of metal and ceramic thermal barrier coatings in a spark-ignition engine Michael Anderson Marr Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering University of Toronto 2009 Surface temperature and heat flux measurements were made in a single cylinder SI engine piston when uncoated and with two different surface coatings: a metal TBC and YSZ. A new thermocouple was developed to accurately measure surface temperatures. The engine was operated in a standard full load mode and a knock promoting mode featuring heated intake air and advanced spark timing. Cylinder pressures were measured to quantify knock. It was found that average heat flux into the piston substrate was 33 % higher with the metal TBC and unchanged with the YSZ relative to the uncoated surface. The increase with the metal TBC was attributed to its surface roughness. However, the metal TBC and YSZ reduced peak heat flux by 69 and 77 %, respectively. Both the metal TBC and YSZ reduced knock compared to the uncoated surface. After testing, the metal TBC was undamaged and the YSZ was slightly chipped.
