Combustion Chambers in CI Engines: A Review
Abstract: CI engines are widely used in stationary as well as mobile applications. Stationary applications include typical gen-set, etc. and mobile applications include heavy automobiles, forestry equipments, etc. as well as other applications in day-to-day life. Since the turbulence is necessary for better mixing and the fact that it can be controlled by shape of the combustion chamber, makes this review paper necessary. This paper re-visits and draws on the essentials of combustion chamber, their design, influence in combustion process, timing, etc. This paper is meant to emphasize research on newer designs requirement for combustion chambers. CI engines find widespread applications due to their robustness, high compression ratio and hence high thermal efficiency and usage of non-volatile fuel generally diesel oil.
Keywords: combustion chamber, compression ignition, swirl, squish, turbulence
