either Fig. 2.16 or Fig. 2.18. The theory is normally modified to incorporate the possibility <strong>of</strong><br />

sonic flow at the throat, <strong>and</strong> the careful researcher [2.7] ensures that the critical pressure ratio<br />

is not applied to the inflow condition for flow from pipe to cylinder. Some [2.61] employ<br />

overall pressure ratios sufficiently low so as to not encounter this theoretical problem.<br />

The coefficient <strong>of</strong> discharge, Cdis, is then determined as:<br />

r< _ m ex<br />

v-Hic 'dis —<br />

m IS<br />

(A2.3.2)<br />

The extra appellation <strong>of</strong> "is" to the subscript for Cd refers to the fact that the measured mass<br />

flow rate is compared with that calculated isentropically.<br />

If the objective <strong>of</strong> measuring the coefficient <strong>of</strong> discharge, Cd, is simply as a comparator<br />

process for the experimental improvement <strong>of</strong> the flow in two-stroke engine porting, or <strong>of</strong><br />

poppet valving in the cylinder heads <strong>of</strong> two- or four-stroke engines, then this classic method<br />

is completely adequate for the purpose. The only caveats <strong>of</strong>fered here for the enhancement <strong>of</strong><br />

that process is that the correct valve curtain area for poppet valves should be employed (see<br />
