EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN ENGINE GEOMETRY ON THE COMBUSTION IN AN S.I. ENGINE

A new expression for the turbulent to laminar flame speed ratio in fully developed combustion in a spark ignition engine is proposed. The expression contains parameters related to the basic engine geometry and the inlet systems. Its use in a computer simulation indicates a good indication of the probable effects of changes in engine geometry on the combustion process.
