Abstract
The application of the constant temperature hot-wire anemometer to the measurement of instantaneous gas velocity in the pre-chamber of a motored I.C. engine is shown to be possible. The correction of the anemometer output to allow for the operation of the wire at conditions greatly removed from those of a windtunnel calibration are discussed. The variation of gas velocity at a fixed point in the pre-chamber with variation of engine compression ratio and engine speed was studied.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
