The flow field within the cylinder of internal combustion engines is the most important factor
controlling the combustion process. Thus it has a major impact on engine operation. This …

An experimental investigation of the airflow through various axisymmetric intake ports of a
motored reciprocating engine is reported. Detailed velocity field measurements obtained by …

A schlieren-streak optical system for measuring instantaneous exhaust gas velocities was
developed and tested using a CFR single cylinder spark-ignition engine. Local density …

The heat transfers within the intake valve differs than the exhaust valves, due to the
difference in the boundary condition surrounding each valve. This paper concerns a …

The flow produced by an experimental highswirl intake port was studied by several
techniques. These included measurements of flow rate and swirl as a function of valve lift on …

Engine designs promoting relatively fast burning rates are appearing at an ever increasing
number in both the laboratory and the marketplace. To understand the reasons for this …

A model has been constructed that applies second law analysis to a Fanno formulation of
the exhaust process of a turbocharged diesel engine. The model has been used to quantify …

Simplified flow models are commonly used to design and optimize internal combustion
engine systems. The exhaust valves and ports are modelled as straight pipe flows with a …

The paper discusses the application of maps of measured discharge coefficients for poppet
valves, cylinder ports, and in-pipe throttles within a theoretical simulation of the unsteady …
