연료의 옥탄가 변화에 따른 스파크 점화기관의 노킹특성의 변화

Knock phenomenon is an abnormal combustion originated from autoignition of unburned gas in the end-gas region during the later stage of combustion process and it accompanys a high pitched metallic noise. Engine Knock is accompanied with a vibration of engine cylinder and when it is severe. it can cause major engine demage. Engine Knock is characterized in terms of knock crank angle. knock pressure, pressure jump and knock intensity. In this study,a 4-cylinder spark ignition engine was used for experiment and eighty consecutive cycles were analyzed statistically. The purpose of this study is to characterize spark ignition engine knock as a function of ingition timing and fuel research octane number.The result of this study can be summerized as follows. Knockoccurrence angle gradually approached TDC as ignition timing is advanced. Pressure and knock intensity gradually increased as spark timing is advanced. Mean knock occurence angle gradually approached TDC as fuel research octane number is decreased for identical spark timing. Knock intensity increased linearly as RON is decreased.
