Abstract

Recent engine development has focused mainly on the improvement of engine efficiency and output emissions. The improvements in efficiency are being made by friction reduction, combustion improvement and thermodynamic cycle modification. Computer simulation has been developed to predict the performance of a spark ignition engine. The effects of various cylinder pressure, heat release, flame temperature, unburned gas temperature, flame properties, laminar burning velocity, turbulence burning velocity, etc. were simulated. The simulation and analysis show several meaningful results. The objective of the present study is to develop a combustion model for a spark ignition engine running with isooctane as a fuel and predicting its behavior.
