COMBUSTION IN IC ENGINES.
Hey guys in this post we will talk about the fuel behaviour and the combustion process in the IC (internal combustion) engines and we will also look at the various important terms that each and every automotive enthusiast should know about the combustion process i n IC engines. What is Combustion? It is the rapid and high temperature oxidation of fuel with liberation of fuel energy. The requirements for initiating the combustion process are: · Combustible air-fuel mixture · Means for starting the combustion and formation, stabilisation and propagation of flame inside the combustion chamber of the engine. Some of the very important terms: Ignition Lag or Delay period - It is the first time interval between the instant of spark and the instant when there is noticeable rise in the pressure due to combustion. Self-ignition temperature - The temperature at which fuel will ig...
