FAST-BURN CHAMBER DESIGN IMPROVES EFFICIENCY, LOWERS EMISSIONS
Among the advantages of fast burning in spark-ignited gasoline engines is the potential for simultaneously achieving higher net thermal efficiencies and lower NOx emissions. Cyclic variation of engine power and knocking tendency are also lessened -- improving driveability and permitting fuel-economy advantages via higher allowable compression ratios. Altering combustion chamber shape and/or fluid motions can optimize conditions for rapid flame-front movement.
