that the typical density ratio <strong>of</strong> crankcase air charge to cylinder exhaust gas is about 1.6,<br />

which corresponds almost exactly with the density ratio <strong>of</strong> 1.6 for the carbon dioxide to air<br />

used in the experiment. The Reynolds numbers are well into the turbulent zone at the midflow<br />

position, so yet another similarity law is satisfied.<br />
