Abstract

Harmful elements from the exhaust gases are caused by incomplete combustion of mixture inside the engine cylinder and this abnormal combustion like misfire or partial burning is the direct cause of the air pollution and engine performance degradation. In this study, I obtain the shapes of spark, voltage and current generated when changing the experimental parameters such as grounded electrode shapes, electrode gap and the material of center electrodes. After that, I produce ignition energy by using the voltage and current and classify ignition energy into capacitive discharge energy and inductive discharge energy.
