Combustion in Spark Ignition (SI) Engines | IC Engines | Thermodynamics

In SI engines the combustion chambers have homogeneous air fuel mixture that is compressed after induction stroke. Towards the end of the compression stroke the spark plug gives out high temperature spark to initiate the ignition process. The spark may have temperature as high as 10,000°C. The combustion spreads from around the spark plug and spreads rapidly across the combustible [...]

Ignition Systems: Intro, Types and Electronic Ignition System | IC Engines | Thermodynamics

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Ignition Systems 2. Ignition System Types 3. Electronic Ignition System. Introduction to Ignition Systems: We know that in case of Internal Combustion (IC) engines, combustion of air and fuel takes place inside the engine cylinder and the products of combustion expand to produce reciprocating motion of the piston. This reciprocating [...]
