Gasodynamic Study of the Intake Route at a Spark-Ignition Engine
Journal Title: Machine Design - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aims at determining, by experiment, the pressure loss occurring on the intake route of a sparkignition engine with carburettor. For this purpose, a pilot plant was designed for measuring the pressure at various points on the route, simulating a stationary air flow regime by means of a vacuum pump. Measurements were made for various lifting heights of the intake valve and various opening positions of the throttle body.
