| Abstract |
The extent of cycle-by-cycle combustion variations of a single cylinder spark ignition engine were determined for specific characteristics of the cylinder pressure development histories. The extent of cycle-by-cycle gas velocity variations were determined in the vicinity of the spark plug of the motored engine using a hot film sensor. The results led to the conclusion that cycle-by-cycle combustion variations are caused by cycle-by-cycle variations of the gas velocity in the vicinity of the spark plug at the time of ignition. Additionally a quantitative measure of the phasing of the combustion process allows the effects of these velocity variations on maximum cylinder pressure to be evaluated for different engine variables.
