What is the pressure in an internal combustion engine?
Combustion / Expansion Stroke
Peak cylinder pressures near TDC (where spark occurs) will be in the range of 300 psi for engine's at light loads, to 1000 psi for production engines at full power to 1500 psi or greater for race engines. This is where the engine's power comes from, as it forces the piston down.
How do you calculate IMEP from cylinder pressure?
Therefore, the IMEP can be calculated using equation (11) simply by multiplying a cylinder pressure reading P k + Δ by its volume related expression G k , subtracting the product of the previous cylinder pressure reading P k and its volume related expression H k , and the results be summed over an engine performance ...
What happens with pressure during combustion?
Temperature and pressure in the combustion chamber both increase during the combustion process. The final value of the pressure depends on a temperature factor times the initial value of the pressure. The more that we can compress the gas (the higher the p3), the greater will be the final pressure, p4.
What causes high pressure in cylinder?
As the engine load increases, more fuel is injected into the cylinder and the in-cylinder pressure increases. Consequently, the pressure in the cylinder increases with increase in engine load and reaches a peak at high engine loads.
