A Study on the Effect of Squish Area on Engine Performance of Single Cylinder Natural Gas Converted Engine

Today, the prices of fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel are skyrocketing, oil depletion air pollution major challenges for us auto industry in particular. Natural gas has known a potential alternative fuel internal combustion engines because its advantages octane number, which is higher than that gasoline, low heat value comparison with safety use. This paper presents study on influence squish area engine performance single cylinder natural converted engine. The obtained results indicated increase compression ratio only augmented risk knocking Conversely, modification bowl-in-piston directly varied area, thus turbulent kinetic energy flows at end stroke increased flat head piston original
