The spark energy transferred under the highly stratified conditions during late injection in a spray-guided spark-ignition direct-injection (SG-SIDI) engine is not well characterized. The impact of high pressures, temperatures, velocities, and variations in local fuel concentration along with temporal and/or spatial variations on spark performance must be better characterized. Previous spark ig...

In the existing Intelligent Transport System (ITS), only the vehicles are being monitored, instead of catching the faulty vehicle. In this methodology, the vehicles are controlled by controlling the power supply given to the spark plug through Global Positioning System (GPS) and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) within stipulated time duration from the control room itself. Particularly in Indian Tr...

Motorcycle performance is influenced by many factors, including combustion chamber dimension, fuel characteristic, type of spark plug, spray flame, ignition timing, and the chamber's cooling system to avoid incomplete knocking processes. The plug an essential component SIE. Several studies, such as gap, material type, multiple-ground Electrode, roughness, etc., have been conducted examine effec...

This paper describes the use of a neural network in a technique suitable for diagnostic or condition monitoring applications in a spark-ignition engine. The method involves the use of voltage and current variations at the spark plug under normal running conditions, together with neural network analysis. Waveforms produced under test using this technique contain information relating to the adjus...

The present work investigates the performance and emission characteristics of hydrous methanol fuelled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine. In the present work a regular diesel engine has been modified to work as HCCI engine. Hydrous methanol is used with 15% water content in this HCCI engine and its performance and emission behavior is documented. A spark plug is used for ass...
