Abstract
Evaluation of combustion parameters such as ignition delay and combust ion duration to study the performance of the reciprocating engines is very important. So far there is no clear-cut method available for the evaluation of these parameters. In this paper the available methods ha ve been reviewed and a new approach has been suggested for the determi nation of the ignition delay and combustion duration based on the expe rimental study on a four-stroke S. I. engine using alcohol as fuel.
