Abstract

The way in which position of spark plug affects combustion in a spark ignition engine can be analyzed by using two-zone burning model. The purpose of this paper is to extract correlations to simulate the geometric interaction between the propagating flame and the general cylindrical combustion chamber. Eight different cases were recognized. Appropriate equations to calculate the flame area (Af), the burned and the unburned volume (Vb & Vu) and the heat transfer areas related to the burned and unburned regions were derived and presented for each case using Taylor expansion in order to replace numerical solution with trigonometric algebraic functions.
