Chapter 2 - Gas Flow through <strong>Two</strong>-<strong>Stroke</strong> <strong>Engines</strong><br />

It can be seen that the GPB modeling method provides a very accurate pressure-time<br />

history <strong>of</strong> the recorded events for the motion <strong>of</strong> expansion waves <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> the induction process<br />

into a cylinder. However, it was the "less than perfect" theoretical correlation with this experiment<br />

which led to the study on discharge coefficients [5.25].<br />

2.19.3 A sudden expansion attached to the QUB SP apparatus<br />

The experiment simulates an exhaust process with a straight pipe incorporating a sudden<br />

expansion attached to the cylinder. Fig. 2.34 shows a straight aluminum pipe <strong>of</strong> 3.394 m <strong>and</strong><br />

25-mm internal diameter attached to the port, followed by a 2.655 m length <strong>of</strong> 80-mm-diameter<br />

pipe ending at the atmosphere. There are pressure transducers attached to the pipe at<br />

stations 1, 2 <strong>and</strong> 3 at the length locations indicated. The basic theory <strong>of</strong> pressure wave reflections<br />

at sudden expansions <strong>and</strong> contractions is given in Sees. 2.10 <strong>and</strong> 2.12.<br />

Fig. 2.34 QUB SP rig with a sudden expansion attached.<br />

The cylinder was filled with air <strong>and</strong> the initial cylinder pressure <strong>and</strong> temperature were 1.5<br />

bar <strong>and</strong> 293 K. In Figs. 2.35 to 2.37 are the measured pressure-time records in the cylinder<br />

<strong>and</strong> at stations 1, 2 <strong>and</strong> 3. The results <strong>of</strong> the computations using the GPB modeling method are<br />

shown in the same figures, <strong>and</strong> the correlation is very good. Differences that can be discerned<br />

between measurement <strong>and</strong> computation are indicated on the figure.<br />

In Fig. 2.35 the basic action <strong>of</strong> reflection at a sudden expansion is observed. The exhaust<br />

pulse passes the pressure transducer at station 1 at 0.004 second <strong>and</strong> the sudden expansion in<br />
