Auto-Ignited Kernels during Knocking Combustion in a Spark-Ignition Engine Okayama UniversityNobuyuki KAWAHARA Eiji TOMITA
Knocking cycle Standard cycle End-gas Okayama University Requirements of spark-ignition (SI) engine - Lower fuel consumption - Reduced emission of pollutants. Higher thermal efficiencies Engine knocking due to higher compression ratio Background
