Impact/Purpose:
The report will be of interest to automotive engine design engineers. It examines the feasibility of using a removable integral injector insert in a methanol-fueled automotive engine.
Description:
A stratified charge research engine and test stand were designed and built for this work. The primary goal of this project was to evaluate the feasibility of using a removal integral injector ignition source insert which allows a convenient method of charging the relative location of the fuel injector to the ignition source. Upon setup completion, performance results were measured from three combustion chamber/injector configurations.
