Analysis of Cylinder-Pressure-Indicator Diagrams Showing Effects of Mixture Strength and Spark Timing
Description:
"An investigation was made to determine the effect of mixture strength and of normal as well as optimum spark timing on the combustion, on the cylinder temperature, and on the performance characteristics of an engine. A single-cylinder test unit utilizing an air-cooled cylinder and a carburetor and operating with gasoline having an octane rating of 92 was used.
