Abstract

The effect of charge stratification by direct, in-cylinder injection of a small quantity of propane-air mixture in a single-cylinder, propane-fuelled, spart-ignition engine, has been determined in terms of in-cylinder pressure, flame visualisation and exhaust emissions. The operating conditions ranged from low load to wide open throttle at 1000 and 1500 rpm, and with quiescent and swirling in-cylinder flows. The effects of injection-driven flow and turbulence on combustion have been considered independently of mixture strength by assessing the consequences of injecting a local mixture of an equivalence ratio equal to that of the port-induced charge.
