Chemical and Ir,
I appreciate your input and insight into this. The last couple of links are very good and we will keep those in mind as we continue along. It would be great to find data for this by those who have performed similar experiments with bombs. I guess that is the difficulty of...
Hi Ir,
I'll put together another example:
Bomb 1- Total inside volume 3 cm, 18-1 compression ratio (18 atm), stoichiometric mix of air and C8H18. combustion is assumed to be instantaneous, constant volume (no stretching), and no heat lost to walls or outside environment.
Bomb 2- Total...
Hi IRstuff,
Maybe another way of putting it: Given stoichiometric constant volume combustion @ stated compression ratios, does volume need to be included to obtain max pressures? If volumes were to get real large I could see the potential of misleading data but will there be much difference in...
Thanks Chemical,
I searched through the link and will follow up on the other references you gave. The link seemed to focus on flame speeds more than the maximum pressures achieved by constant volume combustion so I will continue my search. Have yourself a great day!
Looking for pressure and torque versus crank angle curves for common SI and CI engines. I would like to compare common engine data to study the torque vs pressure lag resulting from poor moment arms of the reciprocating engine platform. Any one-stop place for this?
Also we are working on a type...
Looking for a resource that gives maximum pressure data under constant volume conditions for the following common fuels:
C8H18
C12H23
Basically I would like to compare the results of our experiment to previously published studies. We start with a spherical constant volume chamber "bomb" and...
