TIME RESOLVED MEASUREMENTS OF EXHAUST COMPOSITION AND FLOW RATE IN A WANKEL ENGINE

Measurements were made of exhaust histories of the following species: unburned hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitric oxide (NO). The exhaust mass flow rate is time resolved by forcing the flow to be locally quasisteady at an orifice placed in the exhaust pipe. The composition and flow histories provide sufficient information to calculate the time resolved flow rates of the individual species measured. The information so generated shows most of the NO is exhausted with the leading gas while most of the HC is exhausted with the trailing gas. /GMRL/
