The pressure of compressed charge when actual ignition start in both engines is (3.42 MN/m2 ). The fuel has ignition lag of (0.0012 sec), and the rapid combustion phase occupies (4.5) degrees of crank travel in each engine. If the pressure at the end of rapid combustion phase in engine (A) is (7.05 MN/m2 ). Calculate : I - the pressure at the end of rapid combustion phase in engine (B). II- the ignition lag in degrees of crank travel for each engine III-fraction of total fuel injected upto the point of rapid combustion ends. IV-the pressure at the end of rapid combustion phase in engine (B) V-the ignition lag in degrees of crank travel for each engine [ans. :

5 - The spark plug is fired at (18 bTDC) in an engine running at (1800 rpm). It takes (8) of engine rotation to start combustion and get into flame propagation mode. Flam termination stage start at (12 aTDC). Cylinder bore is (8.5 cm) and spark plug offset is (8mm) from cylinder centerline. Calculate effective flame front speed during flame propagation stage. [ans. : ]

6 - The piston of a 4-stroke, 1800 rpm, S.I. engine travel a distant of ( 2 % ) of the power stroke at the instant of flame termination. A ( 0.7 ms ) delay period ends at ( 10 bTDC ). Determine: i crank angles where combustion process starts and ends . ii combustion process crank angle span . iii combustion process time duration . [ans. : 17.56 bTDC combustion starts , , The span 31.96 of crank rotation , ]
